I say that EAPI, in a binary that includes an EFL, is defined as
__declspec(dllimport), that mean that the symbol is imported from a DLL.,
so in a program using elm:
#include <Elementary.h>
// EAPI is __declspec(dllimport)
EAPI int elm_main()
{ ***
}
so the linker searches for elm_main() into a DLL, which is obviously not
the case, hence an error.
