on mingw it produced a def file with duplicate functions with .skip_prologue endings witch chould not made to lib file

in gstreamer-sdk\cerbero\cerbero\ide\vs\genlib.py

i made a fix for that simply deleted the lines with sed and dlltool worked as expected:

after line

 implib = '%s.lib' % libname[3:]

i have added:

  #fix x264 lib error
         shell.call('sed \'/skip_prologue$/d\' %s>%s_2' % (defname, defname), outputdir)
         shell.call('mv -f %s_2 %s' % (defname, defname), outputdir)

ps:
maybe could be implemented in a different way maybe with python.
maybe with perl -ie
sed -i some how creaded a temp file with permission error
did not investigated it, just quickly fixed that.

after change the file is:


import os

from cerbero.utils import shell


class GenLib(object):
    '''
    Generates an import library that can be used in Visual Studio from a DLL,
    using 'gendef' to create a .def file and than libtool to create the import
    library
    '''

    DLLTOOL_TPL = '$DLLTOOL -d %s -l %s -D %s'

    def create(self, dllpath, outputdir=None):
        bindir, dllname = os.path.split(dllpath)
        if outputdir is None:
            outputdir = bindir

        # Create the .def file
        shell.call('gendef %s' % dllpath, outputdir)
        if '-' in dllname:
            # libfoo-1.0-0.dll -> libfoo-1.0
            libname = dllname.rsplit('-', 1)[0]
        else:
            # libfoo.dll
            libname = dllname.rsplit('.', 1)[0]

        defname = dllname.replace('.dll', '.def')
        implib = '%s.lib' % libname[3:]
        
        #fix x264 lib error
        shell.call('sed \'/skip_prologue$/d\' %s>%s_2' % (defname, defname), outputdir)
        shell.call('mv -f %s_2 %s' % (defname, defname), outputdir)     
                
        # Create the import library
        shell.call(self.DLLTOOL_TPL % (defname, implib, dllname), outputdir)
        return os.path.join(outputdir, implib)
