Hello Gordon, I'm back.
My dll started to work by adding a .def file to export the getXtable function.
The "DLL Article" provided by Revolution as a documentation on how to write
External DLLs for Runtime Revolution is unnecessarily talkative and confusing.
For example this piece of code...
extern "C"
{
void getXtable()
}
... generates an error either with VC++ or with CodeWarrior.
Other example :
"The Metacard / Revolution engine uses the Microsoft OBJ convention for Windows
DLLs. Here's the convention you need to support:
1. arguments passed on the stack, not in registers
2. no prepended underscores in function names
3. function names are mixed case
4. calling, not called, function cleans up the stack
"
How to know?
The last example : the "Article" has forgotten to talk about the .def file !
( __declspec( dllexport ) void __cdecl getXtable(); is not able to export to
>RR even with the full parameter set)
The so-called "Externals.rev" generates incomplete code where the .def is
missing and no example is provided about the setting of the compiler/linker
On another words, this documentation is discouraging for those who want to
develop a DLL.
My DLL is designed to return the physical address (MAC address) of the first
lan controller. If you are interested, just ask by email to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
and I'll send it to you with the source.
This offer is also available for those who want to receive it.
Thanks again for your very kind help.
Roger;

Hi Roger!
I'm wondering if the problem is with different version of Codewarrior?
check the following:
User Paths:
{Project}
{Project}../RunRevExternalSDK/
System Paths
{Compiler}MSL/
{Compiler}Win32-x86 Support
C/C++ Preprocessor
#define WIN32
Windows RC / Prefix File: ResourcePrefix.h
C/C++ Language
enable bool support
enable wchar_t support
require function prototypes
enums always int
reuse strings
auto-inline
bottom-up inlining
If you have questions you can give me a call:
800-937-8227
Just ask for me.
