dllimport error

[joeGrammar]

Here is my DLL code

#include <iostream.h>

#if defined(DLL)
#define dllapi __declspec(dllexport)
#else
#define dllapi __declspec(dllimport)
#endif

class dllapi abstract
{
public:
abstract();
~abstract();

virtual void pvfun() = 0;
void dumbfun();
};

#if !defined (DLL)
class dllapi derived : public abstract
{
public:
derived() : abstract(){}
~derived() {}

virtual void pvfun();
};

#endif


Here is my console application code:#include &quot;baddll.h&quot;
#include <iostream.h>

void derived:vfun()
{
cout <<&quot;yay&quot;;
}


int main(){

derived t;
}

Here's the error I get:

error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol &quot;__declspec(dllimport) public: __thiscall derived::derived(void)&quot; (__imp_??0derived@@QAE@XZ)

All I'm doing is trying to make an instance of the class, why am I getting this silly import error?
