The problem is when you have two differently named import libraries that refer to the same DLL. Because they have different names, the linker sorts them separately, but because they are the same internally, there is only one symbol for the import, and half the imports get ignored. The solution will probably involve some evil hackery in the linker to try to deduce when this happens, and fudge the library names. No ETA on a solution yet. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
