Summary:

The Microsoft Import Library Manager (IMPLIB) versions 1.0 and 1.01 do

not support creation of import libraries from dynamic-link libraries

(DLLs). This feature was added in IMPLIB version 1.1. When invoked

with a DLL as the source, IMPLIB 1.0 or 1.01 will generate the

following error:

syntax error near line 1 in definitions file.

IMPLIB 1.0 and 1.01 can only create import libraries from

Module Definition (.DEF) files. The above error usually occurs when

one of these older versions happens to be in the path before the later

version that does accept a DLL as input. (To determine if this is the

case, type IMPLIB /? and observe whether the version information in

the program banner indicates version 1.0 or 1.01.)

For more information on import libraries and IMPLIB, consult the

documentation or online Help included with your version of the

compiler or assembler.
