Summary

0000895: MinGW build creates both .a/.dll for FreeEMS plugin

Description

When compiling EMStudio source (ge24696f and others) in a 64bit Win7SP1 environment using 32bit MinGW, Qt 4.8, QJSON 8.1, QWT 6.1, and CMake 2.8.12.2, both the linker definition file libfreeemsplugin.a AND freeemsplugin.dll library are created. The former is an invalid 3k file and should instead contain the library as is the result with Win builds in Linux.

The consequence is that EMStudio will fail before GUI display unless the DLL is forced at load time via: emstudio -p plugins/freeemsplugin.dll

Steps To Reproduce

This appears to occur on any Windows build. I'm the only one trying this right now as all official EMStudio builds are autogenerated in Linux by Mike. He has a copy of the build walkthrough I've put together with his help.
