unresolved external's in DLL

Environment: Windows 95, VC++ 2.0
I'm trying to use the _inp() & _outp() functions from conio.h. within a dll
file. When I link, I get
LPT_Tdlg.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol "__inp"
It works fine when I tried it in a mutiple doc app.
I tried adding the /NOENTRY to the .mak manually, but it doesn't seem to
pick up on this either.
Any help GREATLY appreciated,
Aidan.

I don't know why they're in the header file, but inp() and outp() are
definitely NOT supported in Win32. I might be mistaken, but I think that
header shouldn't be in Win32 at all. It is a holdover from DOS-land.

Aiden,
Make sure you link with one (or more) of the following:
LIBC.LIB Single thread static library, retail version
LIBCMT.LIB Multithread static library, retail version
MSVCRT.LIB Import library for MSVCRTx0.DLL, retail version
MSVCRTx0.DLL Multithread DLL library, retail version

_inp() and _outp() don't make much sense in Win32. While you will be able
to get the compiler to do what you're telling it, you probably won't be
satisfied with the results. You might need to write a device driver.
Please see Knowledge Base articles Q112298, Q105287, Q152030, and Q140503.
Please, please, at least _try_ to cruise through the Microsoft Knowledge Base
before asking others for help. You can get to the MSKB at
http://www.microsoft.com/kb, or by doing /GO MSKB on CompuServe. I found
the above three articles by searching for "inp" references in the
product "Visual C++". It took me less than one minute to do!

The _inp() and _outp() functions aren't Console I/O; they're port-level
I/O functions. On Intel machines, they translate to IN and OUT opcodes
which peek and poke the hardware I/O bus.
Console I/O is a completely different beast, and _is_ available to
a Win32 DLL.
