Things to try: enabling panic="abort" and lto=true.

I found this issue page which should help you:

That solved most of the linker errors, but there are still others that are being thrown.

New output:

You need to link in C library for those symbols. Either msvcrt or libcmt.

Btw, is there a reason you're using _DllMainCRTStartup instead of DllMain?

5

Yes, for some reason the linker doesn't recognize DllMain as the entry point but it does recognizes _DllMainCRTStartup.

6

msvcrt is statically linked but it still doesn't work

7

statically linking libcmt doesn't work either

8

Try adding ALL of the following libraries: ucrt, vcruntime and msvcrt.

Per @chrisd, adding these in lib.rs allowed me to compile under WIndows 10:

#[link(name = "vcruntime")]
extern {}

#[link(name = "ucrt")]
extern {}
