## Linking for Windows
The [windows-link](https://crates.io/crates/windows-link) crate provides the `link` macro that simplifies linking. The `link` macro is much the same as the one provided by [windows-targets](https://crates.io/crates/windows-targets) but uses `raw-dylib` and thus does not require import lib files.
Start by adding the following to your Cargo.toml file:
```toml
[dependencies.windows-link]
version = "0.1"
```
Use the `link` macro to define the external functions you wish to call:
```rust
windows_link::link!("kernel32.dll" "system" fn SetLastError(code: u32));
windows_link::link!("kernel32.dll" "system" fn GetLastError() -> u32);
unsafe {
SetLastError(1234);
assert_eq!(GetLastError(), 1234);
}
```
