Subject: [ruby-core:53022] [ruby-trunk - Bug #7960] Ruby fails to build static under mswin linker error: multiple definitions of _Init_ext


Issue #7960 has been updated by Ryexander (Benjamin Powers).


I've been trying to resolve this on my own. is dmyext.c even required when linking exts statically? it semes to be just a prototype for extentions which gets redefined in extinit

Author: Ryexander (Benjamin Powers)
Status: Assigned
Priority: Normal
Assignee: nobu (Nobuyoshi Nakada)
Category: build
Target version: current: 2.1.0
ruby -v: 1.9.3


after the depend errors were fixed I obtained r39490 and attempted to build it

after nearly completing it failed with 

ruby200.dll : fatal error LNK1169: one or more multiply defined symbols found

searching through the output found only one line with a "already defined"

ruby200-static.lib(dmyext.obj) : error LNK2005: _Init_ext already defined in ext
init.obj

attached is the full output of the configure.bat and nmake commands run with arguments
