RE: compiling g_module plugin on (cygwin) win32

["Jorge Monsalvo" <jm_tecno2002 yahoo com ar>]

Tor,
        Can you point me to the docs for g_module_xxx functions. I checked
for g_module_find on version 2.6.7 (which is what I'm working with) and I
couldn't find it. Is it new on 2.8.x?

Thanks

Jorge Monsalvo

First, mark the functions in the sources for the main .exe that are to be
used by other modules with G_MODULE_EXPORT.

Then you must decide whether you want to 1) restrict your plugins to work
only with an executable with the *exact* name you specify, or whether you
want it to be 2) more flexible and work even if you happen to rename the
main executable.

In case 1), create an import library for the .exe using dlltool, and link
the plugin against that import library. 

In case 2), use g_module_open(NULL, 0) to get a GModule handle for the main
executable, and the g_module_find() the function from it, and call it.
