Building frameworks does not generate a usable library using MSVC...

gcasa commented 2 years ago

For whatever reason, building a framework using the MSVC environment results in an unusable .lib file that contains next to nothing. Building a library, however results in a usable library.. e.g. gnustep-base and gnustep-gui. I am looking into why this is happening, but I am not sure what the difference is.

Building frameworks using MSYS2 works perfectly, but doing so with MSVC as the build environment does not. I will provide examples as they become available.

@triplef Do you have any idea why this might be happening?

triplef commented 2 years ago

Can you provide the full linker invocation from creating a framework vs. a normal library on MSVC?

Im suspecting this is an issue in tools-make, as it has a number of modifications for MSVC which might need to be adapted for framework creation (which was never tested).

triplef commented 2 years ago

Thanks. That looks all right at a glance:

For the framework, TestObject.m and the generated NSFramework_TestFramework.m are built and linked into TestFramework.lib/TestFramework-0.dll
For the library, TestLibrary.m is built and linked into TestLibrary.lib/TestLibrary-0.dll

In both cases the DLL is linked against gnustep-base and gnustep-gui. The libraries themselves should only contain what’s in TestObject/TestLibrary.

Can you elaborate on the issue / error you’re getting?

gcasa commented 2 years ago

The lib file for the framework contains NO references to the contents of the library AT ALL...

[gregc@mother-win-vm TestFramework.framework] % nm TestFramework.lib                                                       [0]

TestFramework-0.dll:

0000000000000000 i .idata$4
0000000000000000 i .idata$5

0000000000000000 I __IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_TestFramework-0
                 U __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR

TestFramework-0.dll:
0000000000000000 I __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR

TestFramework-0.dll:
0000000000000000 I TestFramework-0_NULL_THUNK_DATA

It is basically useless. I am not sure why this is occurring.

triplef commented 2 years ago

Not sure either. Do you mind attaching your two test projects so I can give it a try here?

gcasa commented 2 years ago

Sure... one sec...

git@github.com:gcasa/TestFramework.git git@github.com:gcasa/TestLibrary.git

They should both be up to date with what I built with here. Also, any changes I have made to tools-windows-msvc exists on libs-gui-fixes.

gcasa commented 2 years ago

I think the issue is that I am not using GS_EXPORT_CLASS in the headers to tell the linker to include the class in the library. Could that be the problem?

triplef commented 2 years ago

Ah yes, all public classes need to be annotated with __declspec(dllexport) when building in order for them to be included in the DLL.

gcasa commented 2 years ago

SMDH, I just tried this with the test library and it is still not showing up in the .lib. I am BEYOND frustrated.

triplef commented 2 years ago

I think you’ll have to define your own macro for this and guard it by a compile-time flag for the framework, because you need the classes to be annotated by dllexport when building, but dllimport when importing the header from other code. Something like this here:

https://github.com/gnustep/libs-base/blob/8f8585405e6daa4b005f7506ce8513dd957ad86f/Headers/GNUstepBase/GSVersionMacros.h#L379-L416

gcasa commented 2 years ago

Aha!! I see. I think it is defining it to nothing, since I am under MSVC and not MINGW so it needs a new macro to do this. I will see if this works. Thanks for the input!

gcasa commented 2 years ago

I am apparently still missing something. :/

triplef commented 2 years ago

Is TestObject annotated with __declspec(dllimport) when building TestFrameworkTool?

gcasa commented 2 years ago

TestObject is included from the framework and it is annotated in the header. I added a define for this. I am likely missing something simple here.

triplef commented 2 years ago

So just to make sure, it’s annotated with __declspec(dllexport) when building the framework, and with __declspec(dllimport) when including it from the framework?

Could you also paste the linker invocation?

Looks like TestFramework is not actually being linked?

But also you need to define EPF_EXPORT_CLASS dynamically as I explained above.

Oh yikes... I generated the GNUmakefile with buildtool and it didn't generate the bit that links the framework.

Still the same problem. SMDH...

triplef commented 2 years ago

Please read what I wrote multiple times above. You need to define the macro something like this, and define EPF_BUILD_FRAMEWORK or some other flag when building the framework (but not when importing the header from other sources):

#if EPF_BUILD_FRAMEWORK
#define EPF_EXPORT_CLASS  __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define EPF_EXPORT_CLASS  __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

gcasa commented 2 years ago

Ah! Stupid me... I missed it. Thanks! I will try this and let you know.

Seems like I didn't have a clean build. I believe this solves it. If I have any other issues I will reopen. Thanks. I didn't know the intricacies of building using MSVC… :) Now I do.
