I'm getting some unresolved externals when importing a DLL of a project (Project 1) in a .exe project (Project 2) using MSVC 2013 (it compiles fine in Mingw 4.8.1):
main.obj : error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class chakra::Message * __thiscall chakra::PublisherSubscriberChannel::GetMessageA(unsigned __int64)" (__imp_?GetMessageA@PublisherSubscriberChannel@chakra@@QAEPAVMessage@2@_K@Z) referenced in function "public: virtual void __thiscall Bar2::ProcessMessages(void)" (?ProcessMessages@Bar2@@UAEXXZ)
test_wrap.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__declspec(dllimport) public: class chakra::Message * __thiscall chakra::PublisherSubscriberChannel::GetMessageA(unsigned __int64)" (__imp_?GetMessageA@PublisherSubscriberChannel@chakra@@QAEPAVMessage@2@_K@Z)
The function GetMessage is a member function of class PublisherSubscriberChannel of namespace chakra in Project 1.
Examined the .exp and .dll file of Project 1 using dumpbin.exe /exports and found the function to be exported as ?GetMessage@PublisherSubscriberChannel@chakra@@QAEPAVMessage@2@_K@Z whereas during importing it is looking for ?GetMessageA@PublisherSubscriberChannel@chakra@@QAEPAVMessage@2@_K@Z as per the above error.
It happens only when I #include "Ogre.h" or any of the other Ogre headers in test_wrap.cxx file (which is a SWIG generated file).
Does anyone have any idea why the function name mismatch with the extra 'A'?
