[fpc-pascal] Linking FPC units with Visual Studio 2013 projects

[Tobias Giesen]

Hello,

yes, to interface between Pascal and C I use 'extern "C"'. I do not have 
any problems linking between my C code and the Pascal code.

The only problem is that the Pascal RTL uses DLL imports, which the 
Microsoft linker cannot resolve, for example:

unresolved external symbol _$dll$kernel32$Sleep

So again the question is how to enable the Microsoft linker to resolve
the DLL dependencies.

Cheers,
Tobias
