Are you including the header file in a C++ file? If so then do

extern "C" { #include "smi.h" }

This will force the included header file to keep the C export names (and not do C++ name mangling).

Also, I'm assuming your building this on Windows (Win32)? I am also and the libsmi code crashes on the call to smiExit(). If you run into this and find the fix please forward it to me.

Hi,

I have cerated a lib from LibSmi say smiDump.lib. I'm making a call to smiDumpMain() inside this smiDump.lib from my code. Now I'm creating a DLL of my code.

Similalrly, when I used to create an EXE of my code, I never faced this problem. Here too I was making a call to smiDumpMain() inside this smiDump.lib

Thanks & regards, Amit Save

Of course You are linking the wrong dll.

Hi,

I have created one lib instead of creating smidump.exe. The main fn. in smidump.c was renamed to smiDumpMain(). So that I could access it inside my code as a Library rather than to run it as a command.

I hope till this everything is fine?

When I try to use it in my code, at the time of linking I get errors as

Mibcompiler.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp__smiDumpMain

When I was building an EXE of my code making a call to smiDumpMain(), everything used to work fine. I have ran the code also & it works fine. But if I build a DLL of my code making a call to smiDumpMain(), the above error comes up.
