Re: Sucess compiling Alex Tweedly DLL!
Hi Alejandro, Hi Developers, i had success following the instructions given by Alex Tweedly to compile his external with Dev-C++ (Bloodshed). I downloaded and installed the latest version available of this compiler. here are the files i used in the compilation: http://www.geocities.com/capellan2000/Tweedly_dll.zip now, while using the same recipe to compile the external from the sdk, i get a lot of warnings and linker errors about a long list of similar undeclared objects like: [EMAIL PROTECTED] does anyone could give us a hint about Where is the linker looking for these objects??? Thanks a lot Alex, for sharing your dll! :-) and Thanks in advance to all of you that will help the linker to find these missing undeclared objects. ;-) ehm, sorry, but looks like i missed the part with the explanation of what the wonderful external actually does?

It's a functional starting point for developing external using the free compiler named Dev-C++ (Bloodshed). The first, i think.

Re: Sucess compiling Alex Tweedly DLL!
Once the nuances of correcting for the current funky externals package are identified, would it be worth the effort to make a Rev tool to serve as a simple specialized IDE for making externals? C is just text, as are the make files, and GCC can be run with the shell function, yes? My hunch is we could make quite a tidy package that would greatly simplify the mechanics of making Rev externals, and never have to leave Rev to do it.

Re: Sucess compiling Alex Tweedly DLL!
al, I don't often build externals with bloodshed, but if i remember correctly you needed to make sure you had the following 1.) -DBUILDING_DLL=1 as a compiler option 2.) --add-stdcall-alias as a linker option (which you have) 3.) Since you're building c code and not c++ you might mess with the --driver-name option to dllwrap something like --driver-name=c 4.) try exporting all the symbols (not good for production) with --export-all-symbols instead of --no-export-all-symbols -- cb Alejandro Tejada wrote: Hi Mark!, Mark Wieder wrote: AT now, while using the same recipe to compile AT the external from the sdk, i get a lot of AT warnings and linker errors about a long list AT of similar undeclared objects AT like: SelectObject at 8 That's a pretty bizarre error message.
