netapi32 tests not linked with netapi32.dll

[Paul Vriens]

Hi,

Could anyone think of a reason that the netapi32 tests are not linked with 
netapi32.dll although this is specified in the Makefile?

I just had a look with PE Explorer at the crosstest executable and it didn't 
contain the netapi32.dll.

The ds-test now skips all these tests on both Wine and Windows as I've changed 
that test to use GetModuleHandle instead of LoadLibrary (and this obviously failed).

This also means it's not only the crosscompiling that fails to link.

Cheers,

Paul.

It looks like the tests doesn't call directly any function from 
netapi32. In such a case the compiler can skip linking the DLL (e.g. 
VC++ does it).

Yep,

that's it. I've added one 'real' call and then things seems alright.

Do you know if this behavior can be bypassed/overwritten. I can of course change 
the tests accordingly (doing a LoadLibrary where needed).

I'm not sure what the 'best' option is.

Cheers,

Paul.
