PRB: "Export Not Defined" Linker Message

ID: Q74699

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Windows Software Development Kit (SDK) versions 3.0, 3.1

SYMPTOMS

The linker reports an "export not defined" error even though all the functions listed in the EXPORTS section of the definitions (DEF) file are defined.

CAUSE

One of the exported functions uses the C calling convention (cdecl).

RESOLUTION

In the C calling convention, the case of function names is preserved, and the name of each function is preceded by an underscore. This convention must also be used in the DEF file. For example, the function declaration


   int FAR Function()

is exported as:


   _Function
