You see _imp__ stuff when building/linking to dll's. Check your code for
'declspec(dllimport)' or 'declspec(dllexport)'. If you're not
building/linking to a dll, then these declspec things need to go away.
If you *are* building/linking to a dll, then you've got a lot of reading
in the mailing list archives to do yet, if you haven't already learned
about declspec.
