Compiler : Ignore unresolved external links

Hi,
Should it be possible to have an option to make compiler ignore unresolved external links and simply report them as "warning" ?
It's an important thing when you use .lib file that can use other external .lib file...

In regular, the linker tries to embedd symbols wich are really needed cause they are called within the binary.
So in your case of request a nonfunctional appl. would be the result -> so whats your purpose?

in my case, the compiler try to resolve an external link that is defined but not used.

If they are used, in which .lib ?
I have tried all solutions available over the internet without success.
DevC++, Visual studio, all have options to IGNORE unresolved external links ... it does not prevent compiled programs from running !!!
So, why shouldn't it be possible for PureBASIC ?

Fred

Have you tried to link with the library that exports these functions?
Dev-C++ doesn't have such option, by the way.

I tried to IMPORT the lib: libcp.lib that, in the MS forums and others forums should contain these functions... without success...

have you posted your problem at the PellesC forum?
those unresolved symbols look like C++ and I am not sure PellesC can work with them.

Maybe there are diff. revisions of libcp.lib avail. in the www and you do need a specific revision?!
Or they do need the Cdecl calling convention or even aren't exported by using Export "C" { .... }

I tried many version of the .lib file without success.
