You probably forgot to put this magic incantation in front of the
declaration of obj1_setup:

__declspec(dllexport)

This tells vc to export the name. Other compilers seem to do this
automatically or with flags like -shared and -export_dynamic.

I imagine that "declaration of obj1_setup:" means , in the obj1.c , where it's writen "void obj1_setup(void)"
But where shall i put this magic incantation ? ( and how ;?)
I tried here and there , but even if vc do not return errors, i have the same Symbol not found from pd ...

ps : the obj1.c is the one given in the pd/doc/6.externs/obj1.c
