[pjsip] Building pjsua as DLL

[Benny Prijono]

Yes, that's correct. Thanks for clarifying this.

In addition, if you're linking your application with the DLL version 
of the libraries, and if you have C or C++ application, you need to 
declare PJ_DLL macro (and not PJ_EXPORTING) in your application's 
project, to activate __declspec(dllimport) specifier in PJ's 
declarations.

cheers,
