NAME

Alien::o2dll - Make dynamic link library on Windows (Deprecated)

VERSION

version 0.04

SYNOPSIS

From perl:

 use Alien::o2dll qw( o2dll );
 
 o2dll( -o => 'foo.dll', -l => 'otherlib', 'foo.o', '-version-info' => '0:0:0' );

From command line:

 C:\> po2dll -o foo.dll -l otherlib foo.o -version-info 0:0:0

DESCRIPTION

Note: The idea was that I (or someone else) might end up using this somewhere else. I didn't realize that libbz2 was special, and that there are better ways of doing this. Please consider using Alien::MSYS or libtool or something like that.

o2dll is a shell script that is used in some build scripts used to create DLL files on Windows. Installing this module provides a perl interface to that command, as well as a command line interface po2dll (it has a p prefix so as not to interfere with o2dll if you have installed it yourself).
