problem building a dll that uses other dll's

["Dan Goldwater" <dgold at brown dot edu>]

Hi!
I am trying to build a DLL which has function calls which must be
resolved into existing win32 DLL's.

I am using b18 on winNT 4.0.  i have MSVC 5.0 available.

Following the instructions for building a relocatable dll, i get an
output but each of the three ld steps reports all the undefined
references for the functions which are in the existing win32 dll's.  i had
to add the --noinhibit-exec option to ld so that it wouldn't delete the
output dll due to the errors.  if i try to use the result dll, it says it 
is an invalid image...

when i build this project on solaris, the linker doesn't complain about the
undefined references, and they are resolved to appropriate existing .so
files at runtime.

is there some option i need to give ld so it knows i want to resolve the
references at runtime to the existing dll's?  or am i clueless?

thanks!
