I have no Microsoft Project to build entire ROOT.
But I assume you have got a makefile for some UNIX platform.
If it is true this means:
1. you have known the answer of your first question. Namely:
all PREFIX_*.cxx sources go to
lib<PREFIX>.so
on UNIX
or root_<PREFIX>.dll
on Windows
2. What about second one it is quite easy to reply since for MS NT linker
it makes no sense, The libraries can go either order. From another hand
WIN32 DLL is never linked against of another DLL or executable.
It is linked against of the "export" libraries only.
3. The source files WIN32_*.cxx and WINNT_*.cxx are conditionally built
as well as UNIX_*.cxx and X11_*.cxx.
I believe the reason is clear.
I have to repeat all compilation / linker options one may find within very
"Makefile" that I provided for Windows NT.
Did you see this file ? What is not clear for you in there ?
I agree the "Makefile" is useful but to build it the makefile builder
has to penetrate root.cmz at once.
