It is expected warning and it is OK.
The reason you defined the global variable in your header file as
"extern DLL" and it is right definition unless you compile code (DLL)
defining this variable. For this code this variable is NOT external
of course but you still need to use the same header file.
In theory to avoid this message one needs a separate include file
with no "extern" definion for this special case or surround that
"extern" with something like #ifndef . . . #endif but all compilers
manage this problem alone (well they are warning you to call one's
attention if one made mistake really).
Hope this helps,
Valery
