I try prepending it with D2 , but same error.

How should I proceed ?

Thanks,

A tad more info

file FX.d is linked with FX_dll_main.d ( and the .def file ) which reads=


import std.c.windows.windows;

extern (C) void gc_init();
extern (C) void gc_term();
extern (C) void _minit();
extern (C) void _moduleCtor();
extern (C) void _moduleUnitTests();

extern(Windows)
BOOL DllMain(HINSTANCE hinst, ULONG reason, LPVOID reserved)
{
     switch (reason)
     {
         case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
             gc_init ();
             _minit ();
             _moduleCtor ();
             _moduleUnitTests ();
             break;

         case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
             gc_term ();
             break;
     }

     return true;
}

I get this __Class not defined error if I use digc directly or my own =

rolled version.

I had a problem with this awhile back, and came to no conclusion. But 
just now, I finally got it to link, but the program causes an access 
violation.

I don't think export is working on classes, but it does work on member 
functions. To get it to export the class, I had to do what you tried in 
the dll exports in the def file, but remove one leading underscore:
_Class_2FX3Foo
I then created the dll, and used implib -a on it (to put the underscore 
back on) and it linked.

implib -a is for borland, for digital mars it's implib /s

Yea that links alright , then using the -L/IMPLIB:FX.lib linker flag i g=
et

The procedure entry point _Class_2FX3Foo coud not be located in the dll =

FX.dll

for foo.exe ( thats linked against FX.lib ).

Using implib /s FX.lib FX.dll

I then try to link to fx.lib and get

__Class undefined for foo.obj.

Seems an issue that needs some attention ?
