Looks like that's a Windows API function [0].
Get it to link with OleAut32 and it should work, if I'm correct.
Thanks, Rikki
There was a pragma(lib,"oleaut32.lib") in one of the source files, so it
should have been linking.
The problem now is that the DM oleaut32.lib doesn't include a _VarCmp@16.
I ran lib -l oleaut32.lib to get a list file. No exported _VarCmp@16.
There were 400-odd lines of exports so I believe lib -l worked.
If I run implib /s oleaut32.lib oleaut32.dll vs. a windows XP
oleaut32.dll I get an oleaut32.lib that includes a _VarCmp (not
_VarCmp@16).
What's the secret sauce to creating an oleaut32.lib that's fully
decorated? Is there a way to get a newer oleaut32.lib into the d
distributions. The full dmc oleaut32.lib is also missing _VarCmp@16 so
no joy there either.
I don't know enough about implib to explain it.
But another method that I believe should work is to use linker
definition files.
It'll allow optlink to work.
Just add it to dmd, actually I believe it needs to be passed to Optlink
(so -L it).
Another fix, might be to use 64bit, but shouldn't be required.
