Hello list. I made a little 'mk_speak.dll' to speak the given string. It uses Microsoft Speech API v5. But I find that if I load it like: load mk_speak.dll (speak_init)
gnumake bombs in 'lookup_file()': assert (*name != '\0'); since 'name' is empty. Or with max debug: gnumake -f speak-test.mak --debug=v ... Reading makefile 'speak-test.mak'... Loading symbol mk_speak_gmk_setup from mk_speak.dll Loaded shared object mk_speak.dll Detected symbol mk_speak_gmk_unload in mk_speak.dll Assertion failed: *name != '\0', file file.c, line 92 With a 'load mk_speak.dll(speak_init)' (no space), all is well. Why does it not handle this single space? It seems a 'load' line is parsed similar to a normal include file where a ' ' is not legal. Or? IMHO, a space should be accepted. BTW1. I'm not sure what the signature of such a 'speak_init()' function should be. Same as the setup function? EXPORT int mk_speak_gmk_setup (unsigned int abi, const gmk_floc *flocp) { // ... return (-1); } BTW2. Could such an init-function take parameters? E.g. 'load mk_speak.dll(speak_init, 50)' would be handy to set the volume to 50%. -- --gv
