Hello, I was attempting to port a program from Linux to Windows where certain functions are exported and used by plugin/extensions. Since the program is not a shared object, there is no import library to link with.
Since PE do not allow unresolved symbols to compile, I couldn't find a way to work on this port for Windows without altering the whole application a lot. To make things a bit clearer, this is what I wanted to achieve: test.exe needs to remain the executable but also export some symbols: foo_help and foo_hello Needed to create a import library for these symbols (libtest.a) and allow plugin.dll link to it Every time tried using extern and export these symbols ended with unresolved references to foo_help and foo_hello, even when libtest.a contains those definitions. Also tried with __cdeclspec(dllexport) and __cdeclspec(dllimport) in test and plugin respectively without avail. As I've been suing dynamic languages for quite long, I'm definitely getting rusty at C. Does anyone have a hint to achieve this without radically altering the original program? Thank you. -- Luis Lavena AREA 17 - Perfection in design is achieved not when there is nothing more to add, but rather when there is nothing more to take away.
