Thread: link error -- machine type conflict

Hello everyone,


I am building a DLL using embedded VC 4. When building a DLL (written in C) for platform MIPSFPU, there is a strange link error.

fatal error LNK1112: module machine type 'MIPS' conflicts with target machine type 'MIPSFPU'

Here is the link option I am using. I am wondering what is wrong with the settings?

commctrl.lib coredll.lib /nologo /base:"0x00100000" /stack:0x10000,0x1000 /entry:"_DllMainCRTStartup" /dll /incremental:yes /pdb:"MIPSIVRel/recover.pdb" /debug /nodefaultlib:"$(CENoDefaultLib)" /out:"MIPSIVRel/recover.dll" /implib:"MIPSIVRel/recover.lib" /subsystem:$(CESubsystem) /MACHINE:MIPSFPU


thanks in advance,
George

So some of the code is built for a MIPS rather than MIPSFPU architecture, and the linker doesn't want to mix it.

You probably need to rebuild the code to use MIPSFPU always. This is probably a setting in some of your build files - it's so long since I worked on CE that I couldn't tell you where to look.

Could you provide more information about what means *some of the code is built for a MIPS rather than MIPSFPU*? How to check?

There's a tool in MS called something like dumpbin which will show you the information within an object file, executable or dll. It has several flags, but something like /headers is probably what you want. I haven't got MS tools on my machine here at work, so I don't know what the exact name of the application or switches are.
