what are the counter part of "thinBasic_ReturnCodeSingle"

[Michael Hartlef]

please try this import lib and let me know wehats going on

Thanks, here I get no linking errors, but the same result like with the import lib I created myself. As soon I add a second function to loadsymbols, the script gives a GPF.

Dooo, I hope that this is my solution. I read that Freebasic uses the GNU linker as well to talk to import libs.
I think the FreeBasic SDK should have a recent one then too. As soon as I have access to my computer tonight,
I will look there for the input library. An old SDK here in the forum had one. So there is hope. Once I get this working, I will start translating the current thincore.inc file to C.

Hallo Michael
the last libthinBasic.dll.a i created and posted works without any problems.

you must tell the linker not use name decorations @xx
if you can't use this option
here the steps how you build your own fresh *.dll.a file for MinGW

step 1 use pexports and create an *.def file from thinCore.dll
pexports .\thinCore.dll > .\thinCore.def

step 2 open thinCore.def with any text editor and replace all " DATA" with "" (nothing)

step 3 use dlltool and create libthinBasic.dll.a from thinBasic.def file
dlltool -d .\thinCore.def -l .\libthinCore.dll.a

Hi Joshi,

did all that. Maybe I am to stupid, I don't know.

I used your lib. A thinBasic script crashes when I add a second command or if I just put one command in,
i get an unknown keyword in thinbasic. So something is wrong on my site here. I guess I give up as this is way to complicated
to get running. Also I had rebuild the lib just like you told me. Same results.

Thanks for your help anyway, I appreciate that.

Michael
