A few day ago I asked a similar question, which helped me look in the right direction with __declspec(), but I got stuck again. I'll be as clear as possible. Hopefully someone can tell me what I'm doing wrong. It is probably something small and simple.

these are the error I get:

I've been stuck with this problem for a few days, I hope someone can help me.
Thank you!
