[gst-devel] linking problem when compiling with msys/mingw

[Vincent Torri]

Maybe the web pages:

http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/y4h7bcy6.aspx
and
http://www.mingw.org/docs.shtml

can be of some help (i'm not a win32 expert too)

It seems that when we want to build a DLL, we should use 
__declspec(dllexport)

any ideas of what should be used ?
