Subject: Problems compiling Nexus library as DLL on Windows

Folks, 

The EPICS areaDetector software has been successfully using the HDF5 library (1.8.7) on Windows since R1-7, about 2 years ago. However, only the statically linked version of the library was installed, which meant that areaDetector applications needed to be statically linked. 

I am now writing a driver that must be dynamically linked, because it uses the Microsoft Common Library Runtime (/clr switch on linker). So I want to also install and use the dynamic version of the HDF5 library. I installed the dynamic versions of the required .lib files from HDF5-1.8.7_CMake_x64_shared.zip, from the HDF Web site. 

When I try to build the ADApp\nexusSrc directory it compiles fine, but I get these errors it tries to link the DLL. Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
