digitalmars.D - updating libraries

odbc32.lib is from 1995 and seems to lack odbc 3.x functions. Is there some way
I can update this library, either a download or creating it from a newer odbc32
library?

Thanks!

hmmm. I tried implib, Borland's implib, using odbc32.def instead of odbc32.dll,
but haven't been able to create anything the linker likes. I keep getting "Error
42: Symbol Undefined _SQLAllocHandle 12". I can get "_SQLAllocHandle" to appear
in my new odbc32.lib, but not "_SQLAllocHandle 12". Also, "implib -s" doesn't
work for me, I have to type "implib /s" - maybe I have the wrong version
(7.6B1n)?

Use dmd's: the formats are different. And, yes, switches are done with "/".
About the symbols, odbc32.dll defines functions with C linkage, so use
extern(C) instead of extern(Windows).

You probably need to use a .def file with implib (such as the attached one). Often when I create a .def file, it's a trial-and-error approach, so you'll likely need to add some definitions for functions that you're using that I didn't use, but the linker hints at what they should be. I think this is the proper syntax with DM's implib: implib odbc32.lib odbc32.def

Use implib on odbc32.dll
