Hi,

I am trying to write a dll file which can be used in another application using loadlibrary api.

In my dll file in .h file I wrote the following code

XML

#include <tchar.h>
#if defined DLL_EXPORT
#define DECLDIR __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define DECLDIR __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

    DECLDIR void ExecuteExternalFile(int count, ...)

and in my cpp file

XML

#include "stdafx.h"
#include <iostream>
#include "puttycmddll.h"
#include <windows.h>
#define DLL_EXPORT
//#define DECLDIR __declspec(dllexport)
   void ExecuteExternalFile(int count, ...)
   {bla blah...}

and in my .def file
LIBRARY "commandlineputtydll"
EXPORTS
ExecuteExternalFile @1

But while compiling I am getting warning inconsistent dll linkage" warning C4273: 'ExecuteExternalFile' : inconsistent dll linkage"

and I am not able to load the library also please help me
Thanks in advance....
