can we export a class using a .def file? w/o using __declspec

[siddharth]

hi all,
i have a problem: i have two core procssing libraries which are used by
my algorithms library. now all three libs are to be converted into
dlls. but i cant use __declspec since tht would make my code microsoft
specific and would take lot of effort to add code to keep it platform
independent. so the only choice i have is to use a .def file to
specific which classes get exported.

now i could not find any literature on how to add the class names in
the EXPORTS section of the .def file. can u please tell me how i can do
it?

any help will be appreciated. thank u in advance!

regards,
siddharth
