Polib not assuming machine type

[Ficko]

If you make an import library with "polib" on a 64-bit system and do not specify "/MACHINE" like

Code Select Expand


polib.exe kernel32.dll /out:kernel32.lib


you will get a warning that

/MACHINE not specified; assuming x86.

but actually this "assuming" does not takes place.
You have to specify /MACHINE:x86

The library manager can usually deduce this by looking into the object file(s), but sometimes this must be done manually (when creating an import library from a module-definition file, for example).

If it says it's assuming x86 then it should actually do it.

Post about it over at the Pelle's C Forum.
