Not enough. I checked this once more and the dllimport was missing. When I jimmy around the definition of UTL_EXPORT, I can make this problem disappear. When UTL_EXPORT is empty I get this error. When it's defined as __declspec(dllimport), utils-test links fine. > shouldn't that be looking for __imp_optopt, etc? i guess > you do try to link against a shared lib? When I'm linking against a shared lib, this works. If I'm linking against a static lib, UTL_EXPORT needs to be empty or I get errors like this: unresolved external symbol __imp__optopt There's another thread about how to define UTL_EXPORT properly so I'll respond there about how to handle this. It feels like I want a compiler flag to depend on the kind of library found at link time...problematic.
