i’ve used libmaker to generate .lib

Unresolved External OPENCOMFISCAL@Fll in file004.obj

The imports show Clarion name mangling “@Fl” so was the DLL was made with another Clarion APP?

If yes then you should not need to make a .LIB with LibMaker because the build makes a .LIB … but it is confusing that the LIB is in the OBJ Release or Debug folder…

… Do this so build of the DLL APP puts the LIB in your EXE / DLL folder:

Editing Default Redirection RED file to create .LIB with .DLL in project folder

The redirection file in Clarion determines where the IDE reads files from, and writes files to. By default, EXE and DLL files are created in the same folder as the APP, but LIB files are stored in 2 places, in \OBJ\DEBUG when compiling in debug mode and \OBJ\RELEASE when compiling in release mode. Unfortunately separating DLL and LIB files can cause some major problems in your app, ones which are difficult to spot and can result in “random” (very strange) behaviours. This is especially the cas…

Did you fill in the Name with your .LIB file?

Was the Dll NOT from a Clarion APP ? Then to remove the mangling “@Fl” you’ll need to add PASCAL, C or a NAME().
