OK. That does solve the problem:-))

My specs file looked OK but did not include the declspec define. Adding it in 
got me going again.

At least, it gets me to the point where I can compile and run the executable.

It is not the complete answer though. I still get several hundred:

warning: 'dllexport' attribute directive ignored

messages.

Also, it does not explain what happened to break my setup.

Is this declspec definition in specs new?

What is it for?

Thanks again Chris,

Stephen
