missing exports in dinput8.lib

[Anonymous]

dinput8.lib should export these 'const int' values:
c_dfDIKeyboard, c_dfDIKeyboard, c_dfDIMouse2, c_dfDIMouse2

If I do a nm dinput.lib (or dinput8.lib for that matter) it doesn't seem like they are exported. Me being stupid or what? I've tried posting on the mailing-list, but I guess this is where the action is.

P.S. Are there no search function in SourceForge's forums?

See where it says Search, up and to left of your post?:)

You can also find alternative search methods laid out in the thread "Read This Before You Ask A Question", which, I take it, you did not read before you asked your question?

Nope. I'm one of those guys who'd much rather read 400kb of wrong documentation than assume things were sensible.

Anyway: Searched to no avail. Someone _did_have that same problem, but the thread ended in: "I had to replace libdinput.a by the one wich is in the dx8 package"??

I using the official dx9 devpack. There is only one libdinput.a and one libdinput8.a. Even linking with all the libraries under ../lib still doesn't cure the problem. Don't know what that guy did. Here follows my compile-log:

..I've also tried searching all .h files to see if c_dfDIKeyboard & co should lurk as a #define. It didn't. DInput.h gives:
extern const DIDATAFORMAT c_dfDIKeyboard;

but nothing comes out of it. One could suspect a mangling-scheme issue. Should that read: extern "C" const ... ???

Further, the .def files (located at ../lib/Definitions) haven't any c_dfXXXXX listed.

Please also let me know if this is a wrong forum for this discussion.

A closer inspection reveals that the afore mentioned declarations of c_dfDIXXXX were already enclosed in extern "C" statements. That was my last good guess.

Here is what I should have specified when I started posting, had I been more observant:

Using dev 4.9.8.4
gcc --version yields 3.2 (mingw special 20020817-1)
Installed the DirectX9 devpak from default download-location servebeer.com

Thanks for any help - Rene
