Hello Andi, most struct sizes do not matter in the windows API (becasue it takes care of that). The problem actually lies in the POSIX stuff and the modified stuff as well as the new *_r() and *_l() and what not functions that do not exist in the older functions. A thing that hurts first is the memory allocation. Basically this boils down to that you have to bind statically and may not share any malloc block to get freed in the other code. Between VC6, 2002, 2003, 2005 I had various attempts of getting cross build libs/binaries work and never had real success (and don't ask why I tried it).
