[Mono-devel-list] aot compilation working in windows

[The Software Team]

Hi.  It wasn´t usable, because "ld -shared" doesn´t generate a valid dll, so
I had to use gcc -shared --dll instead and it works now!.

Using it, I even was able to compile ikvm.gnu.classpath.dll to a valid dll
(9 MB) and aot is using it.

I'm attaching a diff file with the last aot.c.

Thanks for your advice.

                                      Hi,

  Have you tested whenever the generated dll are actually usable ? You
can run mono
with MONO_LOG_MASK=aot MONO_LOG_LEVEL=debug env variables set to see
the debug messages from the AOT module. These show whenever the runtime is
able
to load/execute the AOT code.
