Linking to FMOD Studio using MinGW

FMOD Studio
2

Check out a previous post I made for a little bit of a start: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=18762

But my issue was eventually resolved via direct email support with FMOD. FMOD told me that they are aware of the issue and intend to release MinGW compatible binaries on Windows as of version 1.04.

The gist of the issue is that FMOD Studio library does not yet currently export the dll symbols. You can actually generate a MinGW compatible binary with the following def:

This is the content of fmod_studio_cygwin.def (sorry, I had to throw it in as code since I can’t seem to upload any attachments). You can then generate a lib with the following command:

dlltool -U -d fmod_studio_cygwin.def -D fmodstudio.dll -l fmodstudio.a

fmodstudio.a will contain the dll import information for MinGW to use to properly link to the C version of the FMOD Studio API.

Special thanks to Graeme Webb, who figured this out and sent me the fix!
