RE: Compiling Glib 2.16.5 on strawberry perl

[RAPPAZ Francois <francois rappaz unifr ch>]

Thanks for the tip, after editing Glib.exports, I still have errors (undefined reference) when running dmake:

The last command (not changed by quiet_rule in MakeHelper) is 

"C:\strawberry\perl\bin\perl.exe" -MExtUtils::Mksymlists \
     -e "Mksymlists('NAME'=>\"Glib\", 'DLBASE' => 'Glib', 'DL_FUNCS' => { Glib=>[] }, 'FUNCLIST' =>
