ok,

im having a few problems Sad im no professional at assembly, im only using it for convenience (as i already have partial source code written)

i now require to use a lib from masm32 (but i dont have source)

i wish to import the functions from x.lib similar to includelib 'x.lib' in masm32.

ive read through the forum, and found posts saying about vortex software (which is really nice) and also about ms-link.zip ... somewhere i found the download link for it on this forum (so others just search forum for it).

i put every file in their correct directories, - and tried to compile the 'example' that came with it, only to be faced with this error message :

Code:
D:\mslink\Fasm>set include=fasmw\include

D:\mslink\Fasm>..\scan template.asm -a

D:\mslink\Fasm>fasm\fasm template.asm template.obj
flat assembler  version 1.54

D:\mslink\Fasm>masm32\bin\link /ENTRY:start /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS template.obj ..\k

template.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp_TranslateMessage
template.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 11 unresolved externals
    


im curious as to what im doing wrong Sad i have seen these errors in delphi/ms c++ - and they were relatively easy to fix (i seem to remember)

as far as i can see, i have done nothing wrong, the example should be working?

Thanks for any response

Tim

I have only used the FASMW version so I can't tell you how to fix it, but seems that you have not declared these in your source, like:
Code:
 library kernel,'KERNEL32.DLL',user,'USER32.DLL'
 import  kernel, \
GetModuleHandle,'GetModuleHandleA', \
ExitProcess,'ExitProcess', \
etc.
 import  user, \
MessageBox,'MessageBoxA', \
and so on
    

because some includes want you to specifically declare the library imports
you're using in your program.

Hi Timmy,

Welcome to the forum.

Are you sure that you are using the correct import libraries? As you know, Fasm emits differently external functions names, not like Masm as __imp__MessageBoxA@4

To build import libraries without decorated names, have a look at this thread:
Linking Fasm object files with MS Link

http://board.flatassembler.net/topic.php?t=479

If still the problem continues, can you post your files as a zip attachment to the board?
