I''m trying to make a file translator for maya, using the tools that come with devc++. Everything compiles fine, but I get a bunch of linker errors (even after I tried the pexports/dlltool trick). Any help on getting this to work? Here''s the code:

#define NT_PLUGIN
#define _BOOL

#include<stdio.h>

#include<maya/MFnPlugin.h>
#include<maya/MPxFileTranslator.h>

//#include"dMDL.hpp"


#define VERSION_MAJOR 1
#define VERSION_MINOR 0
#define VERSION_STRING "1.0"

class dMDLtranslator:public MPxFileTranslator
{
   MStatus status;
public:
                 dMDLtranslator(){};
   virtual      ~dMDLtranslator(){};
   static void*  creator();
   MStatus       reader(const MFileObject& file,const MString& optionsString,FileAccessMode mode);
   MStatus       writer(const MFileObject& file,const MString& optionsString,FileAccessMode mode);
   bool          haveReadMethod() const;
   bool          haveWriteMethod() const;
   bool          haveNamespaceSupport() const;
   MString       defaultExtension() const;
   MString       filter() const;
   bool          canBeOpened() const;
   MFileKind     identifyFile(const MFileObject& file,const char* buffer,short size) const;
};

void* dMDLtranslator::creator()
{
   return new dMDLtranslator();
}

MStatus dMDLtranslator::reader(const MFileObject& file,const MString& optionsString,FileAccessMode mode)
{
   return MS::kSuccess;
}

MStatus dMDLtranslator::writer(const MFileObject& file,const MString& optionsString,FileAccessMode mode)
{
   return MS::kSuccess;
}

bool dMDLtranslator::haveReadMethod() const
{
   return true;
}

bool dMDLtranslator::haveWriteMethod() const
{
   return true;
}

bool dMDLtranslator::haveNamespaceSupport() const
{
   return false;
}

MString dMDLtranslator::defaultExtension() const
{
   return "mdl";
}

MString dMDLtranslator::filter() const
{
   return "*.mdl";
}

bool dMDLtranslator::canBeOpened() const
{
   return true;
}

MPxFileTranslator::MFileKind dMDLtranslator::identifyFile(const MFileObject& file,const char* buffer,short size) const
{
   char id[4] = {buffer[0],buffer[1],buffer[2],buffer[3]};
   char v = buffer[4];
   if(strcmp(id,"DMDL"))
      return kNotMyFileType;
   if(v != VERSION_MAJOR)
      return kCouldBeMyFileType;
   return kIsMyFileType;
}

MStatus initializePlugin(MObject obj)
{
   MStatus status;
   MFnPlugin plugin(obj,"Universe Industries",VERSION_STRING,"Any");
   status = plugin.registerFileTranslator("Discordia MDL Translator",0,dMDLtranslator::creator,0,0,false);
   if(!status)
      status.perror("registerFileTranslator failed");
   return status;
}

MStatus uninitializePlugin(MObject obj)
{
   MStatus status;
   MFnPlugin plugin(obj);
   status = plugin.deregisterFileTranslator("Discordia MDL Translator");
   if(!status)
      status.perror("deregisterFileTranslator failed");
   return status;
}

and the log:

My thanks in advance for any advice. I''ve been working on this for the past 24 hours almost continuously (whinewhine).
