If it's not already exported, perhaps the libsmi developers weren't
aware of the wonderful "feature" of the Windows development

application using the library was built; that's a rather alien notion
to most if not all UN*X developers, and I suspect the libsmi
developers started on some UN*X.
nicely stated !
If so, yes, we should probably mention that to them, e.g. on the
libsmi list.
(While we're at it, we should probably also mention to them that:
1) there's an smi_render man page:
http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/cgi-bin/dwww?type=man&location=/usr/local/man/man3/smi_render.3
but there's no link to it in the sidebar on the libsmi home page:
http://www.ibr.cs.tu-bs.de/projects/libsmi/
2) that page doesn't indicate that the strings returned by those
routines are mallocated.)
A quick look at the last several messages on the list indicates that
there's been recent changes related to compiling on Windows.
I'll read thru the messages tomorrow and
provide some comments/suggestions as appropriate and as per the above.
