digitalmars.D - gdiplus.lib

Hi,
I can't get gdiplus imported.
I created the gdiplus.lib file with implib.
The following is a snippet of my D header file:

extern (Windows)
{
export
{
 Status GdiplusStartup( PULONG *token, GdiplusStartupInput *input, 
GdiplusStartupOutput *output );
 void GdiplusShutdown( PULONG token );
}
}

And the linker errors:
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _GdiplusShutdown 4
 Error 42: Symbol Undefined _GdiplusStartup 12

Any help?

Make gdiplus.def and add this to it: LIBRARY 'GDIPLUS.DLL' EXPORTS _GdiplusShutdown 4 = GdiplusShutdown _GdiplusStartup 12 = GdiplusStartup Then pass it to implib instead of the dll. This is needed because dmc/dmd/link mangle stdcall/windows functions for some type safety.

Ok, but am I supposed to put together the entire library through the DEF 
file?

I usually add the functions as I need them, but I haven't needed to do it to a whole lot. If someone knows of a better way, I'm interested.

Yeah, I do. Write native COFF support!
I'll do it (Walter).

There's already coff2omf.exe, that'll handle many cases.

Thanks, I can see that.
If you want help reading (and writing, perhaps) COFF files, I'm willing to 
write a library for them.
