Subj : Re: Unresolved external __declspec(dllimport), and illegal instruction To : borland.public.cpp.borlandcpp From : Nathaniel L. Walker Date : Sat Nov 20 2004 09:10 am Apology accepted. And he's right, the quotes should probably encase just the path and not the entire argument, I've never seen anyone write it that way and know for a fact my IDE-generated makefiles for either Borland C++ 5.02 or Borland C++Builder aren't written that way. I think we know how many people use Sun's Java compiler, they basically own Java. Have you read the instructions for compiling this tool you're building (as in creating the resulting executable :p)? The reason you need to post in correct newsgroup is because the clutter disorganized posts can grow quite disturbing.
