3216.0. "Intel to Alpha port - DLL Link error -ParseAnExport" by ROBRTS::ROBERTS (It's a FACT...) Thu Mar 27 1997 16:32

    I'm trying to port a Intel NT dll to ALPHA NT using Visual C++ 4.1.
    The dll builds fine on the Intel machine using Visual C++ 4.0
    
    During the first pass of the LINKER when it is building the .exp
    file I get the following error:
    
    LINK : error : Internal error during ParseAnExport
    LINK : fatal error LNK1141: failure during build of export files
    Error executing link.exe
    Creating browse info file...
    OLMEM32.dll - 2 error(s), 0 warning(s)
    
    The definition of link error 1141 is as follows:
    
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    FAILURE DURING BUILD OF EXPORT FILE
    LINK could not build exports (.EXP)file.
    Causes of this error include system problems such as insufficient
    memory and syntax errors in the options or module-definition statements.
    This error is preceded by another error that gives additional
    information.
    ------------------------------------------------------------------------
    
    System problems?? I'm running on a ALPHAstation 255 with 64Meg of
    memory. I also can't see any problems with the .DEF file or use of 
    EXPORT syntax. Again it builds on the Intel platform.
    
    Is there an uniqueness in ALPHA - Export syntax??
    
    I cannot find any information on ParseAnExport.
    
    Any ideas???

This would have been better asked in the DECWET::VISUAL conference
which addresses Visual C++ (and associated tools) on Alpha.
I'll alert our linker person to this note...

Also, you might try VC++ V5.0.
3216.3DECWET::MUPOPAThu Mar 27 1997 18:279
Both the compiler and linker in VC++ 5.0 contain
lots of bug fixes compared to their counterparts
in Vc++ 4.1.

You will gain much by upgrading to that environment.
Check DECWET::VISUAL conference for details.

(p.s. I left a message on your voice mail to this effect).

    Upgrading to VC++ 5.0 solved all my linking problems.

    Thanks for your help.
