I am attempting to build a DLL using DMC 8.34 and the tool chain from the CD.

My initial attempts simply used the '-mn -WD' options and listed the code files. When that failed, I fired up the IDDE and set up a Win32 DLL project.  In both cases, I get the same giant list of errors involved being unable to export symbols.

I am sure that I'm just doing something foolish.  In particular, I have not added GDI32.lib and other system libraries that I need to build the project.  I don't directly see how that would cause the "cannot export" errors, but I certainly see how it would cause the "undefined" errors.

Here is an abbreviated example of the output.  I cut out most of my member functions, because they were boring.  I left the "undefined" errors for the various library functions alone, in case those were somehow useful.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Never mind...  After I included gdi32.lib, kernel32.lib, and comdlg32.lib on my build line, the imports worked and, suddenly, the exports were perfectly happy. Don't know why, but it works, and I've got a DLL.

Sorry for the wasted bandwidth.
