error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol

[sudheerdara]

Hi Friends,

I am new to C++,I am creating a dll to use in JAVA.
when i am creating a dll file at compilation i am getting the following error....
Any one please help me in this regard..........


Creating library sparsha_Reader.lib and object sparsha_Reader.exp
sparsha_Reader.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllim
port) void __cdecl ConnectDevice(char *,char *)" (__imp_?ConnectDevice@@YAXPAD0@

sparsha_Reader.dll : fatal error LNK1120: 2 unresolved externals

Linker cannot find ConnectDevice and DisconnectDevice functions implementation. There are only function prototypes. For example:

void ConnectDevice(char*, char*);
void DisconnectDevice(char*, char*);

int main()
{
    ConnectDevice("1", "2");
    DisconnectDevice("1", "2");
}

Such program compiles, but linker gives unresolved external symbol error.

Thanks
in my header file i declared as
typedef public char *LPCSTR; // 1byte
typedef char *DWORD; //4bytes

DLL_API VOID ConnectDevice( LPCSTR, DWORD);
DLL_API VOID DisconnectDevice( LPCSTR);

In my cpp file i useed as

JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_sparsha_CardReader_CardReadering
(JNIEnv *, jobject){
char *argv[]={"port=COM1"};
char *argvs[]={"baudrate=38400"};
cout<<"Starting cctalk application event manager with caRD\n";
ConnectDevice( *argv, *argvs);

}
JNIEXPORT void JNICALL Java_sparsha_CardReader_stopCardReader
(JNIEnv *, jobject)
{
char *argv[]={"COM1"};
cout<<"ENDING cctalk application event manager with caRD\n";
DisconnectDevice( *argv);
}


is this correct?
it is not working....

Take a look in MSDN at Linker Tools Error LNK2019.

Function exported from Dll, should be defined as __declspec(dllexport). In the client project it should be defined as __declspec(dllimport). This is usually done by defining some precompiler constant in the Dll project, and conditional definition, which is expanded as __declspec(dllexport) in the Dll project, and __declspec(dllimport) in the client project.
To see how it is done, create new Win32 Dll using Visual Studio Application Wizard, and check "Exports symbols" on one of Wizard steps. Created project shows how to export functions and classes from Dll properly.

Hi
I am having ICM330_0170DLL.h,ICM330_0170DLL.dll and ICM330_0170DLL.lib files given by my customer now to get a new dll based on these files.I worte a new cpp file as .....
#define NOMINMAX

#ifdef WIN32
#include <windows.h>
#include <crtdbg.h>
#endif



#include <time.h>
#include <iostream>
#include <limits>

}

and compiling this cpp file by using command:
Cl/LD sparsha_Reader.cpp /NXCOMPAT /MACHINE:X86 /LINK "D:\sparsha\new\RamyamICM3301\ICM330-0170DLL\ICM330_0170DLL.lib"

then i am getting this error as described above.
if i compile using command like....
Cl/LD sparsha_Reader.cpp /NXCOMPAT /MACHINE:X86 /LINK "D:\sparsha\new\RamyamICM3301\ICM330-0170DLL\ICM330_0170DLL.dll"
i am getting error ...

1107: invalid or corrupt file: cannot read at 0x2A8



when i am compiling i am getting .obj,.exp,.lib and .dll.manifest files
i am new to cpp so what to do now?
anybody can help me...

Show ConnectDevice and DisonnectDevice definitions from ICM330_0170DLL.h.
Do you have some code samples using this library? Usually library writers provide such samples.

they given me one exe file with that device is connecting but i dont know how to see code for that exe file.
if u can help me i will send that exe file also.

Hi Friends,

I am new to C++,I am creating a dll to use in JAVA.

You are probably trying to use the JNI technology of JAVA. If so, the Sun website has plenty of beginner examples.

http://java.sun.com/developer/online...CBook/jni.html

Why not go to the Sun website, and try those examples first, before trying to do this yourself with your own code? When I was first getting JNI to work, I went through the simple sample programs first before creating the library that I was working on. If the sample at the link doesn't work for you, then at least everyone here will have some kind of concrete reference point as to what is failing.

Regards,

Paul McKenzie

Reading this h-file, I don't see any reason why this program is not linked. The only strange point is your code:

typedef public char *LPCSTR; // 1byte
typedef char *DWORD; //4bytes

Why do you need the second typedef? Possibly it prevents compiler to create correct external dependency, which should be resolved by linker.

Hi
In actual h-file i don't have typedef's....but when i compile cpp file in which i included these header file i m getting errors so i wrote these typedef's .I don't know how to compile without wrirting these typedef's.

Hello, you sudheerdara locate the libraries. Lib and dll files in C: \ windows \ system32, that if you use visual c + +, plus you do link to. Lib you have
