Hi, I'm trying to compile some foreign code and get the following error messages. What's the problem with dllimport here?

/*
 * Implementation of e4_CommonUniqueID.
 */

e4_CommonUniqueID::e4_CommonUniqueID() :
                                       ^
e4id.cpp(39) : Error: initializer or function body for dllimport not allowed

e4_CommonUniqueID::e4_CommonUniqueID() : ID(-1), SP(0) {}

e4_CommonUniqueID::e4_CommonUniqueID(const e4_CommonUniqueID &referrer)
    :
    ^
e4id.cpp(42) : Error: initializer or function body for dllimport not allowed

    : ID(referrer.ID),
      SP(referrer.SP)
{
}

e4_CommonUniqueID::e4_CommonUniqueID(int uid, int usp)
    :

    : ID(uid),
      SP(usp)
{
}

e4_CommonUniqueID &
e4_CommonUniqueID::operator=(const e4_CommonUniqueID &referrer)
{
^

{
   ID = referrer.ID;
   SP = referrer.SP;

   return *this;
}

e4_CommonUniqueID::~e4_CommonUniqueID() {}
                                        ^

Importing a function means referring to that function in some other DLL. Therefore, providing a definition of an import (rather than just a declaration) must be an error.

Ah, I see. Ok, thanks. I was irritated in that there was an implementation but didn't saw the DLL thing... Thanks.

BTW: I try to post into the c++.windows group which fails. Is this group no longer existant?
