Can someone send my winspool.lib and shell32.lib that are compatible with
the dmc.



i don't know if shell32.dll and winspool.drv came with my vc++ compiler or not,
i kind of assumed they we're installed by the operating system... 
now that i think back i believe i finally just used this .def file to make the
shell32.lib there were only 4 or 5 missing exports...

LIBRARY      SHELL32
EXETYPE      NT
SUBSYSTEM    WINDOWS,4.0
VERSION      4.0
EXPORTS
_DragQueryFileA 16=DragQueryFileA
_DragAcceptFiles 8=DragAcceptFiles
_DragFinish 4=DragFinish
_SHGetFileInfoA 20=SHGetFileInfoA
_ExtractIconA 12=ExtractIconA

you just save it to a file named shell32.def then type
implib shell32.lib shell32.def
and you'll have a new shell32.lib file, stick it in one of the lib folders i put
it in dm\lib but i guess it doesn't matter... long as the linker can find it, i
think that's the idea.

here's the winspool.def use it the same way may it serve you well...

not sure where the problem is, make sure you are saving the files as plain ascii
text?  if that won't work at all you can link in the imports in the .def file

easier to fix up the shell32 and winspool libs

save the build32.def file below and try it that way maybe..

wouldn't surprise me at all that microsoft would 'break' a bunch of older mfc
apps by not including the winspool.drv and shell32.dll in WinXP, but are you
positive they're nowhere on your system?

yeah that makes sense i guess, borland's implib was running instead probably.
though i kind of thought the .def commands were portable, so borland should make
the libs.  not sure dmc optilink could read it?  but anyway you can get around
all that for now by using the full path before any of the dmc tools, instead of
using 'implib' use 'c:\dm\bin\implib' from the command line.  you can stick that
path in front of the other tools too just to make sure, or if you notice a
borland message when something runs.

good luck!  i wish i'd started programming mfc when i was 15 i might actually
understand it by now, lmao

probably in the 'other tools' download... you'll probably need it eventually
anyway i think there's a few other treats in there too.

sorry the download is called utilities, the resource compiler is in there too
along with implib and a few others... same download page as everything else
about halfway down.

i dunno about the rest but the nafxcw.mak in mfc\src\projects did fine with
smake i rebuilt it once while i was fishing for a dll.  i don't really have a
big need for the dll right now i'm having real good results with the way it is.

i hardly ever use a debugger anyway but that's good to know just in case that
the debug lib is available, thanks.
