I am using the Turorial pgm at http://www.usingeuphoria.com/books/guiphoria/?code_cc_wxeuphoria to test 'Euphoria to C Translator'. I have renamed pgm SmplEuph.exw .

I ran Translator for SMPLEUPH.exw , then Emake.bat , then SMPLEUPH.EXE .

Running SMPLEUPH.EXE I get error msg
open_dll() is not supported in Euphoria for DOS32

Of the C files , three pgms have open_dll( statements in them

dll.c , main.c , main.h

What would be an alternative for using open_dll( ?

Thanks!...vmars

ec.exe is a dos based program, DOS itself does not support Shared Libraries. ecw is the Windows based Euphoria interpreter. It will not run on DOS, but runs on Windows. These days hardly anyone does anything with DOS, but we still support it for legacy applications.

This might work if you just want to open pcre.dll in DOS. But it won't work for wxEuphoria or any dll that does GUI stuff.
