Problem in Linking!

Hi Andreas,

How to do it???

Do you mean to open the .lib file in the dependency walker??

I think we cannot open a .lib file in the dependency walker.

If you mean to open the .dll file in the dependency walker, then the function is found when the dll is opened in the dependency walker and the other dependent dlls are also available.

Am i correct or am I missing something?

With Thanks,

Well...yes, my previous answer was some kind of short...what I meant was actually both...however, for the import library you would rather use 'dumpbin /exports library'...

Hi Andreas,

When i used dumpbin, i got info like this

File Type: LIBRARY

Exports

ordinal name

_IcmpCloseHandle@4
_IcmpCreateFile@0
_IcmpParseReplies@8
_IcmpSendEcho2@44
_IcmpSendEcho@32
_do_echo_rep@40
_do_echo_req@40
_register_icmp@0

Summary

A5 .debug$S
14 .idata$2
14 .idata$3
4 .idata$4
4 .idata$5
A .idata$6

IcmpParseReplies seems to be there.



Is there is any solution for this??

With Thanks,

Well...this is somehow strange...however, the dependency of the windows header files is controlled by many 'ifdefs' guards...so, one thing that comes to my mind is, that the inclusion of some header leads to a define which prevents the 'icmpapi' header file...

However, I haven't dealt with that stuff before...

[Mick]

the prototype in the header is incorrect...

DWORD 
IcmpParseReplies(
    LPVOID                   ReplyBuffer,
    DWORD                    ReplySize
    );

needs to be __stdcall

DWORD WINAPI
IcmpParseReplies(
    LPVOID                   ReplyBuffer,
    DWORD                    ReplySize
    );

either change the icmpapi.h or define the prototypes yourself <with EXTERN_C or extern "C">

Hi Mick,

Great Mick!

It works!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you Andreas and Usman for your help!
