Hi, I'm new to this group. Couldn't find information regarding this topic and wondered whether anyone had any pointers. I'm using gcc3.4.3 with Win 2K. Parinya software's MinGW Developer Studio as the IDE. I've written a program in C++ that has global variables (object factories) stored in dlls. However, when I try to build this program, the debug version builds alright but the release version bombs because it says it can't auto-import the variable. Here is an example case that shows this. --------------------Configuration: Refrigerant - Debug-------------------- Compiling source file(s)... Refrigerant.cpp Linking... Info: resolving ZAPP::CZObj::ZObjFactory by linking to __imp___ZN4ZAPP5CZObj11ZObjFactoryE (auto-import) Info: resolving _cinput_ by linking to __imp__cinput_ (auto-import) Creating library file: C:\Zahroof\EAZ\ZObj\Refrigerant\Debug\libRefrigerant.dll.a Refrigerant.dll - 0 error(s), 0 warning(s) --------------------Configuration: Refrigerant - Release-------------------- Compiling source file(s)...
