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

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?

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 :(
