Thread: DLL call - Think I'm close

Hi,

I've been pounding my head on this for over a week. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I need to call a dll named BIOWDLL.DLL from within my C++ program. I put the BIOWDLL.DLL in my system32 folder and
the BIOWDLL.lib file in my main project folder.

Next, I declare the function in my header named biowin.h:

Code:

__declspec ( dllexport )int WINAPI GetSrcBIOWIN (PSTR cSmilePass,
   PSTR cChemical, PSTR EstLin, PSTR EstNon, PSTR EstUlt, PSTR EstPrim,
   PSTR UltTime, PSTR PrimTime, PSTR EstMitiLin, PSTR EstMitiNon,
   PSTR DetailResults, PSTR numLines, PSTR ErrorMess);

Finally, I declare the variables in my my main function and try
to call the dll. I'm passing the dll the first two arguments:

Code:

int Ret1;

Ret1 = GetSrcBIOWIN("O=C","ChemName",
                EstLin,EstNon,EstUlt,EstPrim,
                UltTime,PrimTime,EstMitiLin,EstMitiNon,
                Details,numLines,ErrMess);

When I try to compile, I get the following error:

Code:

main.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "int __stdcall GetSrcBIOWIN(char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *,char *)"(?GetSrcBIOWIN@@YGHPAD000000000000@Z)

I believe the problem has to do with the program finding the library/dll. I've tried researching this, but have had little luck.

You must link to the lib file

Code:

#pragma comment(lib,"BIOWDLL.lib")

Thanks for your help. I added the following code below the includes:

Code:

#pragma comment (lib,"BIOWDLL.lib")

However, I ran it and still get the linking error. I added extern "C" to the front of the declaration to see if it would do anything and got the following error:

Code:

Linking...
BIOWDLL.lib : fatal error LNK1106: invalid file or disk full: cannot seek to 0x3d85d8c2

Does this give any insight. Not sure what to do.
