Good Afternoon,
I have a DLL that I compiled under Cygwin (the source code was compiled with
gcc and the library linked with g++). Any executable that is
compiled/linked with gcc is able to use this library just fine. However
when I try to compile/link with g++ I get a linker error (it can't find the
data exported by the DLL). To be more specific, I have a variable called
foo in my dll which is exported via a .def file.
In my executable file I have:
extern __declspec(dllimport) int foo;
function()
{
foo = 5;
}
This compiles/links/runs fine with gcc. But I get a linker error about not
being able to find foo when compiled with g++. I ran the test program
through the g++ preprocessor and it looks like __declspec(dllimport) is
getting removed by the g++ preprocessor while it is getting turned into
__attribute__(( dllimport )) with the gcc processor.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
--Craig
