Re: [lazarus] compiling a DLL

[Christian U.]

 why you want to make a showmessage from an dll ? thats bad. the only think i know where you need forms in dll´s are configure dialogs for plugins but this can also be solved with other methods.   librarys should add functionality to your program ... not ui   regards Christian ----- Original Message ----- From: Christian Budde To: lazarus@miraclec.com Sent: Thursday, July 06, 2006 3:53 PM Subject: [lazarus] compiling a DLL Hello, I've been trying to compile a DLL with no luck the code looks like this: library DLLTest; uses Forms,      LCLType,      LCLClasses,      LCLIntf,      interfaces,      Dialogs; function Main(audioMaster: Pointer): Pointer; cdecl; export; begin  ShowMessage('Test'); end; exports Main name 'main'; end. It works fine if I don't use the ShowMessage(). But what's wrong with this function. I already included several files (see above), but nothing seems to work. I've tried it with all the latest Lazarus versions (currently 0.9.17) and FPC 2.0.2 (I've heard that there was a problem with FPC, but not what the exact problem was. The error is reproducable, but I hadn't been able to debug the DLL to see what the problem is. Please help,     Christian
