I first tried to build the dll using the dlltool from cygnus and I was not able to get things working. Then I switched using the linker from MS VC V4.0. That allowed me to link dlls to gether, but they where also incorrect. I am 100% sure that the initialised data sections did not get to the place where they should be. At this point I was getting pretty deperate. I finally got it working when I switched the assembler. That means I now use as.exe from gnat304a (done by LABTEK) and link the dlls using the microsoft linker. That gives me working dlls right now. Does someone have an idea what is wrong with as, ld or dlltool. Has someone build dlls successfully and used them from another application. Did you check the dll with quickview ? I usually get a lot of rubbish reported when using that command. Wiljan - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
