Error Loading DLL: Missing export

[kevin.key]

Hey,

I'm having a problem running an RT DLL (call it file2) that uses an RT DLL (call it file1) that uses nixnet. When I try to debug file2, I get the error message:

Error loading 'file1.dll': Missing export 'nxClear' from 'file1.dll'

I know that the linking is somehow messed up because nxClear is not a function in file1.dll. It's a function from the nixnet library. I would think that nxClear would be an import for file1.dll so it seems like I haven't got something setup correctly. To include the nixnet library in file1.dll, in the .c file that uses it all I have done is #include "nixnet.h" and this has been sufficient for debugging file1.dll. But now that I'm using file1.dll in file2.dll it seems confused about where nxClear comes from.

How do I link stuff in file1.dll correctly?

Any help is appreciated,

I discovered that I had to include the nixnet.lib file in the project. Although, it's not necessary for other ni libraries (for instance nidaqmx) because they must be linked in correctly.
