I've sucessfully now done all this and now have the headers converted... I have a problem though when trying to compiling a test plugin: $ fpc test Free Pascal Compiler version 1.0.6 [2002/08/10] for i386 Copyright (c) 1993-2002 by Florian Klaempfl Target OS: Linux for i386 Compiling test.pas Compiling xchatplugin.pas xchatplugin.pas(49,24) Error: Identifier not found XCHAT_PLUGIN xchatplugin.pas(49,36) Error: Error in type definition xchatplugin.pas(50,22) Error: Identifier not found XCHAT_LIST xchatplugin.pas(50,32) Error: Error in type definition xchatplugin.pas(51,22) Error: Identifier not found XCHAT_HOOK xchatplugin.pas(51,32) Error: Error in type definition xchatplugin.pas(55,25) Error: Identifier not found XCHAT_CONTEXT xchatplugin.pas(55,38) Error: Error in type definition xchatplugin.pas(61,24) Error: Duplicate identifier _XCHAT_PLUGIN xchatplugin.pas(61,24) Error: Duplicate identifier _XCHAT_PLUGIN xchatplugin.pas(62,60) Error: Identifier not found PXCHAT_PLUGIN xchatplugin.pas(62,96) Error: Type identifier expected xchatplugin.pas(62,96) Fatal: Syntax error, ) expected but FUNCTION found What's going on here ? cheers James -- - - James Mills Zero Defect Software Engineers Group - ZDSEG _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
