From: mhouyoux AT mcnc DOT org (Marc Houyoux) Subject: DLL load error: "not a 32-bit library" 5 Sep 1998 05:50:18 -0700 Message-ID: Reply-To: Marc Houyoux Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII To: gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com I have successfully created a DLL using the example makefile on Fergus Henderson's web pages that I found from previous posts to this list. I needed to add the library libf2c.a to the list of libraries because there is a Fortran program in the library, and this worked fine for compiling. I linked to the libfoo_dll.a (in my case, prntfor_dll.a) file created by the makefile, as the web page recommends. However, when I try to call the DLL from a Windows application (called Map Info), I get the following message: "Unable to load prntfor_dll.a because it is not a 32-bit library." Has anyone ever seen this before, or have any suggestions as to what might be wrong? Here are some more details that might be relevant... - I'm working on an NT PC - Using another set of instructions on the web for building DLLs with Gnu-Win32, I have previously gotten other messages about Map Info simply not being able to read the library at all. Using Fergus Henderson's Makefile, I got the "32-bit" message, which is at least a little more informative. - I've already tried the web page suggestions of setting RELOCATABLE to "yes" and `LDFLAGS-libfoo = --image-base=0x0800000 (within the makefile), and these did not change the error message. - The contents of the DLL, for testing purposes, is a simple fortran program that opens a file and writes to it.
