Use a Module Defintion File:

  • Add a DEF file to your DLL project, if it does not already have one.
  • Verify that the DEF file is used as "Module Definition File".
  • Add all symbols to be exported to the DEF file.

Alternatively you can use __declspec(dllexport) to define exported symbols.

Do you export some symbol? Without exporting something, lib is not generated.
