vs2005 won't write .lib or .exp files when building my .dll

[pete]

I can't get vs2005 to produce .lib and .exp files when I build my DLL.
What do I have to do to persuade vs2005 to write these files?

I have seen that the project was set up with:

Import Library $(TargetDir)$(TargetName).lib

And I have tried adding to the linker command line:

/IMPLIB:"c:\TPCAgent\Debug\TPCAgent.lib"

What else must I do to generate .lib and .exp files for this DLL?

I have what I believe is an identical project elsewhere that /does/
produce the .lib and .exp files I want.

Thanks!

There are various options needed and I don't know what they all are. The
options are set properly when the project is created by VS if you create a
Win32 DLL. Are you sure the project is a DLL project?

The next thing to check is that functions are exported; if there are no
exported functions then there might not be a lib and dll file created.

Of course, the output won't be created if there are link errors, but you
probably know that.
