X-Git-Tag: v3.8.2rc1~7
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=30096c9365fcb7cc3c38c4d161eaf8f61ae5cfea;p=thirdparty%2FPython%2Fcpython.git

Fix MinGW library generation command (GH-17917)

To print the exports to stdout, the gendef command requires the option "-". Without this option, no output is generated.
(cherry picked from commit 2545fa87628b4caca519da8aeb0eeef368b9dc0d)
