fatal error LNK1107 when generating lib file from vlc dll

I followed the instructions on this site http://wiki.videolan.org/GenerateLibFromDll for generating a lib file from a dll. The def file is created fine and I have editted it as suggested but when I try to 开发者_StackOverflow社区generate the lib file I get the LNK1107 error for an invalid or corrupt file. Any help would be most welcome.

Regards

Try another way: call function from dll by getting pointer with GetProcAddress;

Example: C++ calling a dll

Update:

VLC media player downloaded as 7zip version;

I choose the way with GetProcAddress:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>


int main()
{
    //VLC_PUBLIC_API const char * libvlc_get_version(void);

    //Set directory path with libvlccore.dll and libvlc.dll
    SetCurrentDirectory("C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC");

    HINSTANCE hGetProcIDDLL = LoadLibrary("libvlc.dll");

    FARPROC lpfnGetProcessID = GetProcAddress(HMODULE(hGetProcIDDLL),"libvlc_get_version"); 

    if(lpfnGetProcessID == 0)
    {
        std::cout << "GetProcAddress failed";

        return 1;
    }

    typedef const char * (__stdcall * pICFUNC)(void); 

    pICFUNC MyFunction = pICFUNC(lpfnGetProcessID);

    std::cout << MyFunction() << std::endl;

    //output: 1.1.4 The Luggage

    return 0;
}

It works fine for me, but you must change Character Set from default Unicode to Multi-Byte: Project -> Properties -> General -> Character Set;

Try it! and good luck!;)

Update 2:

I got lib, here the trace from cmd:
