        Hi,

        In preparation of the corresponding GSoC project, I've added the
        ITSOL
        package to MXE. It compiles ok with MSVC. Could you guys check
        whether
        it compiles with native/cross MinGW?

    static or shared ?


Shared. I also ran into the problem you mention. See the patch I made
(for MSVC):

Hello,

I had problems with the multiple definition of functions, too. I wrote a little installation tutorial for Debian-like distributions including a patch to remove redundant functions

But I think your patch is more specialized for the MSVC build, right? I don't work with Windows, so I cannot test it.

I always take a conservative approach when doing patch (use #ifdef instead of deleting code) and assume that it works fine in "normal" compilers like GCC (hence the patch is MSVC-specific). But it appears it wasn't the case here.
