Your DLL export file has the following definitions:

#  ifdef MY_DLL_EXPORT
#    define MY_DLL_DECL __declspec(dllexport)
#  elif MY_DLL_IMPORT
#    define MY_DLL_DECL __declspec(dllimport)
#  else
#    define MY_DLL_DECL // for static lib
#  endif

In particular, it does not import things by default; one has to explicitly
define MY_DLL_IMPORT for that to happen. Naturally, your test does not define
this macro. If add it to the preprocessor definitions in its project file,
everything links fine.
