Re: exe imports / exports and Eu

Interesting.....I actually tried that. I must have made a mistake :(
In the meantime,I have been having a rotten time trying to compile a DLL
using BCC from the DOS prompt.. I finally got it to recognise AC3D's
exports when suddenly it has started reporting "out of memory"....sheesh!
The example source and .h is VC++ and as I know little about either VC
or BCC this is very hard. I would rather do it all with Eu if possible....

It looks for three specifically named functions. It expects to get values
back
from two of them. I have played around with the .def as suggested in Eu2C
which seemed to fix the names (but left the old names there too.....is there
a reason for that?). Incidently, I think a switch to have the .def
automatically
generated would be nice.
Thanks for the help Matt. Don't be surprised if I end up with lots more
questions :)
