The .a libraries are MinGW import libraries for the corresponding DLLs. They are not supposed to be cleaned after the build (though perhaps we should add something to remove or to prevent them from being built, as they are not used and not likely to be used).

Same goes for the .def files, also useful for linking to DLLs. Also not likely to be used.

The reason the import libraries and .def files are not likely to be used for opcodes is that the opcodes are dlopened. The interface libraries and the API libraries, on the other, are linked at compile time and should have these files which should NOT be removed.

Regards,
Mike

I'm using a bash shell script to run scons for a win build, but I get tons 
of libsndxxx.a and .def files left over after the build.  Are those supposed 
to get cleaned somehow?

Regards,
