Hello, I hope someone could help me out. I'm trying to compile my latest work with mars compiler. Is a VST Instrument. Basic, a DLL file with an EXPORT MAIN on the DEF file. The problem is that I'm getting an error during final LINK. (it compiles with no errors)

link Main+VstSynthProc+VstSynthPar+VstSynthPresets+audioeffectx+AudioEffect+Chorus+DashMain+DelayFX+DelayL+Filter+LFO+Limiter+MidiNote+WvIn+ADSR,,,user32+kernel32,main/RC:resources/noi;

OPTLINK (R) for Win32  Release 7.50B1

FIXUPP Type = 32-bit Conditional JMP

What does your .def file look like? It should contain the lines:

EXETYPE NT
SUBSYSTEM WINDOWS (or SUBSYSTEM CONSOLE)


Also, DLLs should not have a main() function, such will pull in the wrong
startup code. You'll need a dllmain().
