def files work if you add them to the source list for a library.
However, there is now way to automatically generate them right now.
The preferred method is to use the __declspec(dllexport) directive.
__declspec(dllexport) is what you want if you want to export symbols
out of a library. If you tried dllimport that would explain why it did
not work.
Here is an example from on of cmakes tests:
-----sharedFile.h------
#if defined(WIN32) /* Win32 version */
#ifdef CMakeTestLibraryShared_EXPORTS
# define CMakeTest_EXPORT __declspec(dllexport)
#else
# define CMakeTest_EXPORT __declspec(dllimport)
#endif
#else
/* unix needs nothing */
#define CMakeTest_EXPORT
#endif
CMakeTest_EXPORT int sharedFunction();
-----sharedFile.cxx-------
#include "sharedFile.h"
int sharedFunction()
{
return 1;
}
