Hi,
My first module (called "geom"), created from "template", compiles (on
Windows XP with the "native tools") and the hello() function works.
Now I want to use some functions of a certain library (the
GEOShttp://geos.refractions.netC API). I'm fairly new to C, so
probably I'm doing something obvious wrong.
What I have is a header file
"geos_c.hhttp://geos.refractions.net/ro/doxygen_docs/html/geos__c_8h-source.html"
and a DLL "geos_c_fw.dll" (I chose to use a prebuilt DLL for now, since I
didn't manage to build the GEOS library as well :-(.)
I put those in the NT directory.
In my geom.mx, I added:
*#include* *
**int* testGeos( ){*
* initGEOS(*NULL*,*NULL*);*
* finishGEOS();*
** return* GDK_SUCCEED;*
*}
Now, when I run "nmake NEED_MX=1", I get:
(...)

Creating library lib_geom.lib and object lib_geom.exp

in function _testGeos
geom.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _initGEOS referenced in
function _testGeos
lib_geom.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals
So the compilation of geom.c succeeds, but the linking of lib_geom.dll
fails. Apperently, the geos_c_fw.dll is not found. I tried putting it in one
of the /LIBPATH, but that doesn't help.
How can I make this work?
