The code is a loadable package that can be linked dynamically into a Tcl application (the code acts as a communication link between Tcl and an Erlang application). In Linux, I created a shared object with position-indepedent code: gcc -shared mycode.c -L/my_lib_path -I/my_include_path -lmy_libs -o mycode.so -fpic Can djgpp handle this (and if so, any hints/pointers from a kind soul?) or am I consigned to install and suffer an approx. 1Gbyte of MS Visual C++ and the MSDN? Please tell me the latter ain't so! Help would be much appreciated. --Tony ----------------------------------------------------------- Tony Gahlinger & Associates Inc.
