cannot link with the .dll

[advis0r]

hi im trying to use the dll with dev-c++

i create a new project, add the header file, include it in my main.cpp - compiles/links fine (of course)

when i add the lines form the example

AU3_Sleep(1000);
    AU3_Run("notepad.exe", "", 1);
    AU3_WinWaitActive("Untitled -", "", 0);
    AU3_Send("Hello{!}", 0);

i get the following error:

[Linker error]undefined reference to `AU3_Sleep'

[Linker error] undefined reference to `AU3_Run'

[Linker error] undefined reference to `AU3_WinWaitActive'

[Linker error] undefined reference to `AU3_Send'

ld returned 1 exit status

of course under project options i told the linker to use AutoItX3.lib

the commandline looks like this:

g++.exe main.o -o "Projekt3.exe" -L"lib" AutoItX3.lib

main.o:main.cpp:(.text+0x132): undefined reference to `AU3_Sleep'

main.o:main.cpp:(.text+0x14e): undefined reference to `AU3_Run'

main.o:main.cpp:(.text+0x16a): undefined reference to `AU3_WinWaitActive'

main.o:main.cpp:(.text+0x17e): undefined reference to `AU3_Send'

collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

can anyone help me? or upload a working dev-c++ project that uses the dll?

thx in advance

hi all

The format of lib file isn't different between, devC++ and VC++ ??

There is a tool to convert ms libs to devc/mingw libs but I can't remember the name...

Why wouldn't all windows compiler linkers have a consitant format?

I'll check it out and see if I can add to to my automated build process for AutoItX.

I've added a devc version of the .lib file for the next beta.
