hey,

im having a really hard time linking anything successfully other than what dmd links in automatically. ive downloaded Pavel's winsock header, im importing it and compiling the d module (my own) to object code.. then when i link it with ws2_32.lib, from the package the winsock header is in, i still get:

"C:\dmd\bin\dmd.exe" first.d -L ws2_32.lib



C:\dmd\bin\..\..\dm\bin\link.exe first,,,ws2_32.lib+user32+kernel32/noi;

OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1
Copyright (C) Digital Mars 1989 - 2001  All Rights Reserved

first.obj(first) ###----> Error 42: Symbol Undefined _recv@16

I trust its very possible, and im just doing something stupid, could someone please tell what, if anything, im doing wrong, and what i should be doing?

Thanks,

jesse

Is _recv@16 in your ws2_32.lib? You can find out using grep or running lib on it and generating a .lst file.

Try putting the lib file in your current directory.

i removed it from the dmc lib folder, and from the dmd lib folder, put it in my project directory, and got the same thing, i made a new copy with implib too(stab in the dark). also, it is generating an executable, even when the linker gives me that error, dunno if thats normal or not. i read something about not linking unreferenced code somewhere else on the board, maybe its something to do with that.. because the lib is 13k, and the executable produced is the same size with and without me linking in the lib. only other linker i have is borland c++ 5.5's and its not a proper substitution, from it i get:

C:\d\projects\myfirstd>dmd first.d ws2_32.lib
c:\dmd\bin\..\..\borland\bcc55\bin\ilink32.exe first,,,ws2_32.lib+user32+kernel3
2/noi;

wait wait, its in the lib output, but not as _recv@16, its just recv, is this wrong? and how would i make use if this?

Yes, it is wrong. The names have to match exactly.

The calling conventions used on the function affect the name, and so are different.

I understand, but these arent mangled, and D defaults to its own calling convention. I guess ill need to wrap it and write my own lib then right? its an asm calling convention i think, and D doesnt support that, that i know of.

The @16 calling convention is __stdcall for C, and extern (Windows) for D.
