Hi there I try to compile a dll that exports 17000+ symbols during the creation of the .lib archive it creates those temporary .o files but it looks like it goes over the allowed number of files in the same directory or somethings around thoses lines (the / tree is on an NTFS partition) >dlltool -d wxmsw233.def -l libwxmsw233.dll.a dlltool: bfd_open failure while opening stub file : ds10732.o >ls -l | wc -l 17041
gcc -shared generates a core dump in this particular case Question : is there an easy work-around or should i build the .lib archive by small blocks i see there is an option for dltool to keep .o files but what about one that deletes then after addition to the archive ?
