We -WANT- the DLL, so that we can package Inkscape and Inkview and whatever executables we deliver, without the distro size becoming huge. This just needs to be worked out. However, for testing, maybe we can add an alternate target, "inkscape-static".
Actually, after pondering this, why don't we temporarily go back to the "old way" and link statically and not strip, the way we did in 0.39(-) ? This DLL, though it will be needed eventually, is becoming something of a burden, and is stealing time from development. Let's have the DLL be a low priority item, and get back to coding.
This build: http://troi.hous.es3.titan.com/~rjamison/inkscape/builds/Inkscape0408270845....
is statically linked and unstripped, just like we are accustomed. Please try it and let me know if it works.
