[Mingw-users] undefined reference to `_imp__

[Stanley E B. <sta...@zi...>]

I am trying to access an exported function in Java's jawt.dll called 
GetAWT.  I exported from the DLL using pexports into jawt.def which 
looks like this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
LIBRARY jawt.dll
EXPORTS
_JAWT_GetAWT@8
-----------------------------------------------------------------

I then created the link library using dlltool and copied it into the lib 
directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------
dlltool --dllname jawt.dll --def jawt.def --output-lib libjawt.a -k
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Added the library in my makefile during the dllwrap step
-----------------------------------------------------------------
-ljawt
-----------------------------------------------------------------

Compiling I receive the following error:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
gui_Canvas.c:28: undefined reference to `_imp__JAWT_GetAWT@8'
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The java distribution on windows includes MS LIB files.  Using nm of 
jawt.lib gives me this:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
jawt.dll:
00000000 i .idata$2
00000000 i .idata$4
00000000 i .idata$5
00000000 i .idata$6
000420ff a @comp.id
00000000 I __IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_jawt
         U __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR
         U jawt_NULL_THUNK_DATA

jawt.dll:
000420ff a @comp.id
00000000 I __NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR

jawt.dll:
000420ff a @comp.id
00000000 I jawt_NULL_THUNK_DATA

jawt.dll:
00000000 I .idata$4
00000000 I .idata$5
00000000 I .idata$6
00000000 T .text
00000000 T _JAWT_GetAWT@8
         U __IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR_jawt
00000000 I __imp__JAWT_GetAWT@8
-----------------------------------------------------------------

The last few lines are the kickers.  It has both _JAWT_GetAWT@8 and 
__imp__JAWT_GetAWT@8 defined.

What gives?  I tried adding __imp__JAWT_GetAWT@8 to the def file but 
this only leads to the program that uses the DLL complaining about not
finding the entry point in the DLL.
