Trying to create a DLL from Enet source code

Hi Im trying to create a DLL from a library called Enet:
http://enet.bespin.org/

I got the source and compiled it into a static library,

then I created a new project:




--- Code: ---// dll.h
#ifdef __cplusplus
#define EXPORT extern "C" __declspec (dllexport)
#else
#define EXPORT __declspec (dllexport)
#endif

EXPORT int CALLBACK mymagicfunction(void);
--- End code ---


--- Code: ---#include <windows.h>
#include "dll.h"

EXPORT int CALLBACK mymagicfunction(void)
{
       enet_initialize();
}

--- End code ---

I told the IDE to use libenet.a as a linker. (the static library that I compiled)

the error message was:
ld.exe cannot find -lEnet

stahta01:
Turn on Compiler Logging and post the part of "Build Log" that contains the "ld.exe cannot find -lEnet" error and the 3 or 4 command lines right before it.

Steps to turn on Compiler Logging:
"Settings" -> "compiler debugger"
Change "Compiler Settings" to "Other Settings"
Set "Compiler Logging" to "Full Command Line"

Where is Enet related to the project cbp file?

You need to add it to the search path in CB.

"Project" -> "Build Options"
Change to "Search Diretories"
Add the folder holding Enet library to linker tab.

that worked THANKS


but now it is saying 'undefined reference to enet_initialize()'

I know for a fact that function/command is in the Enet source code.

Is just including the static library enough?
