    Problem in exporting a dll function

    Hi all,

    I have a win32 dll workspace. In this workspace i have most of the files as .c files. I want to export one of the function from this dll. The function is a static function. so for that function if i export it in this way

    __declspec(dllexport) static rdiff_sig(const char *BasisPath, const char *SigPath);

    i am getting one error message as below.

    error C2201: 'rdiff_sig' : must have external linkage in order to be exported/imported


    What should i do to solve this problem.


    Thanks

    Datta K.

    remove static as asked by the compiler
    and providing the return type will be also useful
    All problems in computer science can be solved by another level of indirection,
    except for the problem of too many layers of indirection.
