[PD-dev] Having trouble creating .lib file from a .dll in VC++ 6.0

[Matthew Laughlin]

I opened up a new DLL project in VC6 and copied and pasted the code from one 
of the externs supplied in the PD externs folder just to see if it would 
work. I put the copied C code into the externs folder in the PD directory 
and added the filename to the makefile and tried nmake. Everything worked 
fine except for the copied file which is a bit puzzling - I got this error 
message:

LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol bsccounter_setup
bsccounter.lib : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved externals
LINK : fatal error LNK1141: failure during build of exports file
NMAKE : fatal error U1077: 'link' : return code '0x475'
Stop.

Something funny going on...
