Ah yes, ClassMap will haunt me for the rest of my days.
A ClassMap is a pointer to a list of classes contained inside a dll. CoLib was orgionally written to enable making such, but I soon found other uses for it.
However, CoLib 1.0 DEMANDS a ClassMap. Version 1.1 (in Sp2) fixes this problem. I just downloaded a fresh copy to check this, and my LoadPic.asm compiled fine with it.
If you keep having trouble, just define:
ClassMap DWORD 0 ; dummy value
This will make the linker happy. You'll have a small bit of never executed code in your .exe, but it will work.
(Seems this is a heavy week for people emailing having build problems with this, so I hope I spare people some debug time. GET THE NEWEST VERION, willyas? Thank you.)

I realize I've talked about this in another Thread.. but for those who might pull this Thread up in a search under "ClassMap" etc.
I discovered a major key to the error is compiling with Windows.inc 1.25, regardless if you gotten the most recient package!.
Solution: Compile on an earlier version of windows, or do what Ernie sugested.

Dang it, I forgot all about windows.inc. Yeah, it can cause some serious problems.
Personally, I still use version 1.19. That's why I don't have these problems.
Icz and I tried to eliminate this stuff for 1.25, I had a perliminary copy and I cut tons of stuff out. But from what Nan describes, I didn't cut far enough.
Nan, see if windows.inc is declaring the protos for the 5 basic COM dll exports My guess is he's defined DllGetClassObject's proto, so the linker adds that out of CoLib, and that proc needs the (defined elsewhere) ClassMap. Bingo, build fails.
My best advice is we handle this as a bug report for Icz (he's very accomodating with these things) and comment out of the current windows.inc. Hopefully,m the next revision of that inc file will be nicer to us.
The other thing to try is use windows.inc version 1.19, it's available on my site (link above on button).

Im not sure what you want me to coment out here.. or all of it...? but this is the com stuff at the end of windows 1.25:
but "DllGetClassObject PROTO :DWORD, :DWORD, :DWORD" is in here... and when this alown is commented out it compiles fine... thanx Ernie... I was still stumped on the reasons until you posted your reply.. I peviously searched both for a "ClassMap" but was dissapointed to learn neither version had one...
