digitalmars.D - dmdfe
Hi I was trying to turn the dmd front end into a dll with an exported function, so I made the function dmdfeExport() in mars.c, and added a .def file with the contents: EXPORTS dmdfeExport and referenced the .def in the makefile. But when linking I get the following message: OPTLINK : Error 180: No Match Found for Export/ENTRY - : dmdfeExport OPTLINK : Warning 148: USE16/USE32 Mismatch : DGROUP D:\dm\bin\..\lib\SNN.lib(constart) Error 83: Illegal frame on start address OPTLINK : Warning 174: 32-bit Segments Inappropriate for 16-bit Segmented output OPTLINK : Error 81: Cannot EXPORT : dmdfeExport dmd\access.obj(access) Error 35: Cannot Reach TARGET from FRAME at Relative 00014H from Segment _TEXT FRAME = Frame of Group FLAT 0000 TARGET = External Symbol ?toParent Dsymbol QAEPAU1 XZ (Dsymbol *syscall Dsymbol::toParent(void )) 0B079H FIXUPP Type = 32-bit Conditional JMP Could someone tell me what I have to do to get it to find the exported function?

You need to tell the linker it's creating a 32 bit DLL. Add the lines:
EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS
to your module definition file.

Thank you very much Walter.
I renamed the main() func (cos its not an exe anymore).
But now I have this problem where when its linking it cant find any of the win32
apis. Heres a sample:
dmd\root.obj(root)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _FindClose 4
dmd\root.obj(root)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _FindFirstFileA 8
dmd\root.obj(root)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _CompareFileTime 8
dmd\root.obj(root)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _FindNextFileA 8
dmd\root.obj(root)
Error 42: Symbol Undefined _DeleteFileA 4
Am I missing something?

M <M_member pathlink.com> Ar my problem was that I wasnt linking with kernel32.lib :) But now my problem is that the DLL runtime startup code/DLLMain() isnt being called when the dll is loaded :( In article <ddliii$fj1$1 digitaldaemon.com>, Michael says...Thank you very much Walter.
