Ok, I've gotten a little further in my endeavors and am stumped again.
Actually this is pretty much where I was stumped in the beginning, but I
have made some moderate headway.
I have successfully created a dl that can be called (successfully mind you)
from Visual Basic, but unfortunately only once. ;-) Any attempt to run the
app again without first shutting it down will result in the following:
VB6 caused an invalid page fault in
module CYGWIN1.DLL at 0177:610066e2.
Registers:

What it is that I have or have not done to prevent this, is beyond me, but
perhaps someone could point me in the right direction. ;-)
I found some examples here and there and put together the following:
--- MyTest.c --
#include <windows.h>
int WINAPI testit (int i)
{
return(i+1);
}
-- MyTest.def --
EXPORTS
testit=testit AT 4
-- MyMakeTestDLL.sh --
#!/bin/sh
gcc -nostartfiles -c -DBUILD_DLL MyTest.c
dllwrap --def=MyTest.def --output-lib=libtstdll.a --dllname=MyTest.dll --dri
ver-name=gcc MyTest.o
I then copied MyTest.dll \windows\system
Added the following to VB:
Private Declare Function doit Lib "bar.dll" (ByVal myNumber As Long) As Long
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim i As Long
i = doit(100)
End Sub
Calling doit returns 101.....so far so good. Now I run it again w/out
closing down the app and *POOF* ,VB tanks!!!
What am I missing here? Am I doing something wrong, or is this what I'm in
for?
I also had to copy /usr/bin/cygwin1.dll to \windows\system in order to even
attempt to use the newly created DLL. I thought I read something somewhere
where you could created a DLL that wouldn't require this, but then again I
could be wrong b/c I can't find it now. Anyhow, I suppose that's not as
important to me right now as much as figuring out why it's crashing VB after
I run it twice.
Any and all help/comments/flames/suggestions always welcome.
Best Regards,
-tim
