Description
This PR supersedes #6740.
This PR updates the relevant Makefiles to generate the libraries with gcc. (Thanks to @Kreijstal for the suggestion!) From my understanding, these should provide the same functionality as the visual-cpp-generated files, but with two added benefits:
Combined with #6752, this makes the
def
files throughout the repo completely obsolete. I've deleted them in this PR, however, because of their additional use in the Matlab sources test, this will make the sources tests fail until #6752 is merged.Related Issues
This pull-request fixes issue #6434.
