Hello PocketPC developer folks..
I am working in EVC v4.2 with the PocketPC 2003 SDK (Armv4Dbg) target. I
am converting a static C and C++ library to a DLL. I've referenced all the
usual
headers required like "time.h", "stdlib.h", etc.
I need to use several "old" (libc.lib style) functions: time(), ctime(),
asctime() and difftime(). When I build the library as a static library,
these
link in just fine. When I attempt to build the library as a DLL (with or
without MFC support), the reference to "difftime()" links in just fine, but
I get a
"unresolved externals" on "time()", "ctime()", and "asctime()". A quick
check using "dumpbin" on coredll.lib shows that "difftime()" symbol is
present, but no
"time()", or "ctime()" (perhaps these are inlined elsewhere?). Which
build-time switches, or additional binary static or DLL should I use to
resolve these "unresolved externals"? Why would the PPC 2003 SDK static
library build with no problems...while the DLL form with same sources, does
not? I'm sure I'm missing something very simple.
The project parameters I've used are: "New|WinCE DLL" ...also tried
defining the DLL as one with MFC...
Here is the EVC v4.2 emitted error report:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any help would be very appreciated!!
