[sylpheed:35685] Re: Sylpheed compile error on Windows/MinGW

[HAYASHI Kentaro]

Hi,

I don't know why ./makewin32.sh fails, but
I guess that generated .def file contains two EXPORTS section in
libsylph-0-1.dll.def.

libsylph/.libs/libsylph-0-1.dll.def

EXPORTS
; GENERATED FILE LIST HERE
EXPORTS^M
  account_address_exist @ 1
 .....

If so, just remove the line of comment  from libsylph/libsylph-0.def

; LINE OF COMMENT IN HEAD OF .def FILE
EXPORTS

It seems that ";" line is not handled properly.

By the way, why do you want to compile sylpheed in mingw environment by
yourself?
It seems that configuration results shows OpenSSL feature is not detected
yet.
I remember for it was a bit troublesome compiling sylpheed on your own.
Is there a particular reason?

Thanks.
