When linking with Plato, I got the following error:

Compilation completed with no errors
Linking...
WARNING - Executable name extension changed to .DLL
*** Cannot create DLL: nothing to export

I got this error message when I add in the Linker options
Extra linker options /LIBRARY fpmich2.lib


Many thanks for your help.

Vincent

/LIBRARY is not a linker option. It is a compiler option. Also it is only used with /LGO or /LINK which means that it cannot be used from Plato which never uses /LGO and does not normally use /LINK.

The usual way to add libraries is as a DLL and via a project "Reference".

If you do not have a DLL then your lib must be a static library rather than a stub library.
Off hand I cannot remember how to add a static library using Plato.
Maybe you just give its name in the extra linker options.
Let me know if you need further details.

Hi,

It just goes in the Plato3 references. I have all kinds of libraries there, including DLLs and extensive homemade libraries built with slink.

slink -implib:retina.lib -addobj:*.obj is the command I use to rebuild it whan I change the contents.
