Nasm - Crinkler 不导入 winapi 函数

Question

I've been trying to assemble this codeproject program with Nasm and Crinkler , but every time I try to link the object file with kernel32.lib and user32.lib it gives me the following output:

Crinkler 2.3 (Jul 21 2020) (c) 2005-2020 Aske Simon Christensen & Rune Stubbe

Forced alignment of 1 code hunk to 1 (including entry point).

WINDOW.OBJ: START: error LNK: Cannot find symbol 'ExitProcess'
WINDOW.OBJ: WindowProc: error LNK: Cannot find symbol 'PostQuitMessage'
WINDOW.OBJ: WindowProc: error LNK: Cannot find symbol 'DefWindowProcA'

I've also tried to link it with golink and it gives me the same errors in its format:

GoLink.Exe Version 1.0.3.0  Copyright Jeremy Gordon 2002-2018   info@goprog.com

Error!
The following symbols were not defined in the object file or files:-
ExitProcess
RegisterClassExA
CreateWindowExA
MessageBoxA
GetModuleHandleA
PeekMessageA
TranslateMessage
DispatchMessageA
PostQuitMessage
DefWindowProcA
ShowWindow
UpdateWindow
LoadIconA
LoadCursorA
Output file not made

The command lines are:

nasm window.asm -f win32

crinkler /NODEFAULTLIB /ENTRY:START /SUBSYSTEM:WINDOWS /TINYHEADER window.obj  kernel32.lib user32.lib

golink window.obj kernel32.lib user32.lib

And in the code I have:

extern printf
extern ExitProcess
;all other externs

;more code
START:

push 0
call GetModuleHandleA
;more code

Another weird thing I noticed happens when I remove kernel32.lib and user32.lib on the linker, I get to new errors:

Crinkler import: _Import: error LNK: Cannot find symbol '__imp__MessageBoxA@16'
Crinkler import: _Import: error LNK: Cannot find symbol '__imp__LoadLibraryA@4'

Which is what I would normally expect on failed imports, normally they have " imp " before the name and "@number" after it.

Also, I tried importing win32n.inc and using:

import ExitProcess kernel32.dll

it failed with the nasm output:

error: parser: instruction expected

Any ideas on why it is happening and how to fix it? Thanks.

Answer 1

Fixed it!

Just had to replace every extern "name" by an extern _"name"@"number" that I had to obtain by looking at kernel32.lib and user32.lib.
