[scilab-Users] Link error 236

[Mike Page]

Hi again,

That doesn't seem to work for me.  dumpbin produces the following output:

Microsoft (R) COFF/PE Dumper Version 10.00.30319.01
Copyright (C) Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.


Dump of file libfftw3-3.dll

File Type: DLL

  Summary

       66000 .data
       52000 .rdata
       35000 .reloc
        1000 .rsrc
      806000 .text

No symbol information seems to be produced for Scilab's version.  If I do
the same on my version of the DLL file it does work.  I guess this is
because my dumpbin program is part of Visual C++ Express 10, which is not
the same as the version used to make the original DLL.

Regards,
Mike.

Hello Mike,

You can make the lib from the DLL supplied with Scilab:

1) use dumpbin to get the exported symbols (dumpbin /symbols libfftw3-3.dll)
2) make a def file out of those (first line EXPORTS, each following
line an exported symbol name)
3) use the lib utility to generate the import lib (lib
/def:libfftw3-3.def /out:libfftw3-3.lib /machine:x86)

Hope that helps,

Best wishes,

Jasper.
