linking lib problem

I created a .lib with a procedure which I want to use in another masm32 program.

Could someone point me how do I  correctly link and use the library?

MyProc PROTO
include .\include\masm32.inc
includelib .\lib\masm32.lib
INCLUDELIB .\lib\MyLib.lib ; which contains the procudre called MyProc


but when compiling i get error undefined external MyProc.

Welcome to the forum.

Could you provide the source code of your procedure MyProc? How do you create the static library?

TheGuy

.386
.MODEL flat, STDCALL
option casemap:none

MyProc PROTO
include .\include\masm32.inc
includelib .\lib\masm32.lib
INCLUDELIB .\lib\MyLib.lib ;

_DATA segment
_DATA ENDS

_TEXT Segment
MyProc PROC
                 local Var:DWORD
                 mov Var,EAX
       ...
MyProc ENDP

END


.\bin\ml /c /coff  .\%1\%1.asm .\%1\%1.obj
.\BIN\lib /out:./%1.lib ./%1.obj

I did compile everything correcly but still not working as intended.

When  I invoke the procedure  MyProc

invoke MyProc

then in debbugger I can see that the function doesnt even contain a stack frame and the program executes weird instructions like
ADD BYTE PTR DS:[EAX],AL ;access violation error

instead of

mov Var,EAX

Vortex

Any specific reason to use segmented directives? Here is an easier version :

include     \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

.code

MyFunc  PROC x:DWORD,y:DWORD

LOCAL var:DWORD

    mov     eax,x
    mov     var,eax
    mov     eax,y
    add     var,eax
    mov     eax,var
    ret

MyFunc  ENDP

END


include     \masm32\include\masm32rt.inc

includelib  MyLib.lib

MyFunc      PROTO :DWORD,:DWORD

.data

format1     db '90 + 10 = %d',0

.data?

buffer      db 32 dup(?)

.code

start:

    invoke  MyFunc,90,10

    invoke  wsprintf,ADDR buffer,ADDR format1,eax
    invoke  StdOut,ADDR buffer

    invoke  ExitProcess,0

END start


\masm32\bin\ml /c /coff MyFunc.asm
\masm32\bin\ml /c /coff Demo.asm
\masm32\bin\lib /OUT:MyLib.lib MyFunc.obj

\masm32\bin\polink /SUBSYSTEM:CONSOLE Demo.obj

Everything is clear now. Thank you.

Hi TheGuy,

welcome to the Forum.

You have to know the facts before you can distort them.
