Exporting NSStringPboardType etc on Win32?

[Stephen Brandon]

Hi,
I am having some trouble compiling
gnustep-gui/Tools/example.service on MinGW. The rest of the
gui has compiled ok as a dll, but this particular bit is
complaining about NSStringPboardType not being found at (I
think) linking stage.

I wondered if it was as simple as putting in an entry for
NSStringPboardType in libgnustep-gui.def and recompiling the
gui library, but although I have done that and recompiled
without error, the example service still does not link.
Doing a "strings" on libgnustep-gui.dll shows that
NSStringPboardType is definitely in there somewhere though
that's not a guarantee that it sees it as exported.

Does anyone have any deeper knowledge about this issue? I
imagine that the same will happen for other types as well
that should be exported. Certainly for the pboard ones.

It's a bit annoying that this is happening because I can't
do a normal install of the gui kit until all its constituent
parts compile successfully :-(  [ok I could cheat].

Cheers,

ps I see that getopt is also unknown here -- anyone know off
the top of your head if there's something I should link to
for that to be found?
