Compiling libopenshot-audio using vs2017 about libopenshot-audio HOT 4 CLOSED

@jonoomph - Do you have any advice or newer build instructions for Windows?

Sorry, up to now no, I haven't. The dll is unusable due to lack of entry point.

I suspect the basic issue here is that we build with gcc, which by default generates ELF shared libraries — an object format where all symbols are marked public by default. There's no need to export anything. (Presumably MinGW gcc builds DLLs in a similar fashion, so that source code intended for building with Linux GCC will still work when compiled to MinGW DLL.) Our ProJucer configuration similarly uses a generator that targets Linux Makefiles in setting up the JuceLibraryCode directory.

Other compilers/formats require explicit export annotations, or other methods of indicating what symbols should be exported. ProJucer has a completely separate exporter for Visual Studio, which we're of course not running.

I'll transfer this issue to libopenshot-audio since that's what it was about (openshot-qt doesn't have any compiled components at all), but given that this is something we don't support and are unlikely to have the resources to support, anyone looking to build with a compiler other than gcc would be pretty much on their own for getting it to work. We might be able to offer some input, but it's not anything we've made work or have plans to make work.
