Sorry buddy, but you seriously need to provide some real info about your issue, with that little that you posted above, it is impossible to make even an educated guess as to what you're doing wrong...

So you have a exe and a "lib", ok.
Question: your "lib. sould be ..
- a "dll" or
- a "lib for statically linking into a exe" ?

it is! in case he want to built a dll, and forgot the "__declspec(dllexport)", no .exp and no .lib file becomes created.
I ran into this trouble too some time ago.

Well, a .lib is something completely different than a .DLL, they serve completely different purposes...

Hi Fuzzlix,

MS Visual Studio and Pelles C are sharing the same MS COFF specification.
