Oh no, no: I don't want to build PNet _itself_ using VC++, but only
build some app with VC++ which merely links in statically PNet libs
that I have previously built using MingW.

VC++ _is_ broken. I know, I do a lot of C++ template stuff. Comeau is
reference. Don't waste any time. I just want to _link_.

Btw: thanks for the "dlltool" hint .. I tried this on all libs:

dlltool -l libILEngine.lib -z libILEngine.def --export-all-symbols
libILEngine.a

which produces at least *.lib/*.def files.

So, I linked against those *.lib, but it didn't work. Now I'm linking
directly
all the *.a pnet libs.

This is how far I got up to now:


I had to modify "il_values.h" due to ..

il_values.h(71) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal
il_values.h(72) : error C2632: 'long' followed by 'long' is illegal

ORIGINAL:

/*

 */
#ifdef SIZEOF_LONG_LONG
        #if SIZEOF_LONG_LONG == 8
                typedef long long                       ILInt64;
                typedef unsigned long long      ILUInt64;
                #define IL_HAVE_INT64
        #endif
#endif


CHANGED:

/*

 */
#ifdef SIZEOF_LONG_LONG
        #if SIZEOF_LONG_LONG == 8
                #if (!defined(IL_WIN32_NATIVE))
                        typedef long long                       ILInt64;

                        typedef unsigned __int64        ILUInt64;

                #define IL_HAVE_INT64
        #endif
#endif



Now, I'm left with 9 unresolved externals, and currently I'm lost again:
