I think I might prefer to do that: compile and link all mitab
modules with my own code. That way it's somewhat understandable.
I'm starting with a simple test program... see below. Now I find I
have to include many (possibly all) mitab related .cpp and .h
modules. Would it be easier to start developing all my programs in
the same folder as all the mitab modules, and somehow mass-add all
the .cpp and .h modules to my project? I am already needing to use
things from multiple folders "mitab" as well as folder "cpl"... so I
would have to tell the compiler to gather modules from lots of
places.
Project -> Add New Item - creates a file containing C++ source code -
I can then copy-and-paste existing .cpp contents to this blank
text window. For each source module. This seems extremely tedious.
Is there no simple "import", or "add existing .cpp" ? Add ALL.
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdlib.h> // exit()
#include <conio.h> // _getch()
#include <errno.h>
#include "mitab_capi.h"
#include "windows.h"
mitab_handle mh;
int main(int argc, char* argv[])
{
printf("test\n");
mh = mitab_c_create("test.tab", NULL, NULL, 0, 0, 0, 0);
if (NULL == mh) {
printf("Invalid handle.\n");
_getch(); }
else {
printf("ok\n");
_getch(); }
printf("finished\n");
_getch();
return 0;
}

The only way I know of to use the DLL in this case is to use
LoadLibrary() calls to access each function. (Although I could be
wrong). Here's how to do this:

fp_mitab_c_getlibversion;
