FPC is link compatible with GCC, not with VC. IOW, recompile your sources
with GCC.
I can only do that for a small part (the wrapper C code that I wrote). The
main libraries were done by another company and they have the source--not
me. I didn't understand the part about link compatibility--thanks, that
helps! Now that I do, I know anything other than a DLL is a dead end, at
least with FPC.
Another possibility might be to use Delphi for the Pascal side. Any
thoughts? It sounds like there are a few people on this list who have some
experience with Delphi. Would I be able to compile my TP code (with
perhaps minor mods) and link it to Win32 static libraries for which I only
have the compiled libraries and header files?
Thanks!
