makefile problem

I have a visual studio 2005 project that consists of two managed C++ classes
and some unmanaged C functions. The output of this project is a dll,
that is loaded by a program with LoadLibrary().
Then I have written a makefile that uses the same compiler and linker
options to generate this dll.

Now the dll created by the project works fine while the dll from the
makefile refuses to load (GetLastError returns 126, file not found).
In both cases LoadLibrary() is called with the absolute path, so there
is no way not to find it.

DUMPBIN /dependents shows the same dependencies, but under summary, the
project dll has one additional entry:
1000 .rsrc
The same for DUMPBIN /imports (plus a slight difference in the ordering of
the functions).
DUMPBIN /exports shows the functions like this:
8 7 00001040 freePointer for the project
8 7 00001F20 freePointer = _freePointer for the makefile

Can anybody say, what is wrong with my makefile?

Everything used to work before I upgraded to VS2005.

TIA

I guess you're missing the manifest that is mandatory for linking
against the CRT in Visual 2005. This manifest is generated by the
linker and used by the manifest tool (mt.exe) to be embeeded in the DLL
as a ressource. See
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-US/lib...91(VS.80).aspx for the
gory details.

Yes, that was the problem!

Thanks!

Hi, I have a project that depends on other projets. So I have a Makefile that calls Makefile of sub-projects to build the libs if needed. Once libs are built, the main Makefile link everything and make the executable. For dependencies of .h files, I solved the problem, but I still have a problem for dependencies of libs. For example if I change nothing in the subprojects, when I run the makefile, it calls all makefiles of subprojects...

Does anyone know of a Windows compatible command line tool that capable of parsing Microsoft's VC++ workspace/project (e.g., .dsw, .dsp, .sln, ..vcproj, etc.) files and generating an nmake-compatible Makefile. I don't like or use the IDE but many authors distribute their source code with project files but no makefile. Thanks. Dave

I wish to put a number of .db2 scripts in my makefile. However, some of the db2 scripts tries to revoke privileges from users that might do not have that privilege already, thus returns an error to the shell.

In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...

These AIs are designed to manage the entire lifecycle of a software development project—planning, coding, testing, and deployment—without human intervention. Imagine an AI that can take a project description, break it down, write the code, debug it, and then launch it, all on its own.... Now, this would greatly impact the work of software developers.
