Have you looked at the makefile for the examples with the DLL in 
sys\msdev\win32\dexamples?
These compile and link allright, so I would suggest you mimick the 
compile and link options
from these examples.

If this does not work, can you send me the source code and the 
makefile/project file, so that I
can try and reproduce this on my machine? (I maintain the win32 device 
and the MSVC
build system)
