Hi,
I am not sure that I can help, but this is an interesting topic and I am
curious if you find a solution.
I can only assume that maybe you did not link to gcc and c libraries. Inside
Common.pas, you should try to add {$link c} and {$link gcc}. You may check also
that the symbol of your function looks as you assume it is. Use the command
’nm’ on Cygwin. On DOS you can also use vcvarsall.bat or dumpbin.exe.
Ciao,
Gilles Marcou
