There is a dll project called MimeTeX,it's orginally built by VS2003
I compile the project using VS2010 and succeed. But I cant see any export funtions in dumpbin and
it doesnt work when I use other programs to call this dll

Why? Must I use VS2003?

yes,there is MimeTeX.lib and some other files....
I built a new project,and move the files(.c and .h etc)to the new project
Then it can be built(but can not export funtions)

but if I built the orginall project,it shows a err msg:
1>mimetex.obj : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gifSize
1>Debug\MimeTeX.dll : fatal error LNK1120: unresolved externals
error

Ya i have seen that, trying to resolve the issue, for time being you can find the MimeTeX.dll inside Eq2ImgWinForms\Eq2ImgWinForms\bin\Debug folder

Is this beacuse there is non-compatibility between VS2003 and VS2010?
