Sounds like a DEF file problem. Functions in DLLs use a different naming convention from C++ mangled names and C identifiers, usually:
<FunctionName>@ArgSize ...where ArgSize is the total size of all the parameters arguments, say for example a function MyFunction taking a single pointer as a parameter would be MyFunction@4. .DEF files are what Visual C++ uses to associate functions in header files with functions in DLLs, I'm not sure what the Cygwin equivalents are. In fact, I know almost nothing about Cygwin but a lot about Windows DLLs, but I thought this might put you on the right track ;) -Wade Wednesday, February 06, 2002, 2:22:09 AM, you wrote: DC> Hello there, DC> I've searched the archives high and low and can't seem to find a solution to DC> my problem.
