In C, you dont use DELCARE_ALIAS - that is only used in GLBasic - in C, you would use the standard extern function.  So, you can either do :

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

DECLARE_ALIAS(exportBeginScene, "ebrowser.dll", cv_eb_create, () ,void);

or

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

INLINE
  extern "C" void exportBeginScene(void);
ENDINLINE

or

Code (glbasic) Select Expand

DLLCALL("ebrowser.dll", "exportBeginScene", void);

Which you use would depend on whether you have the source code or not and whether you know the function names and parameters

use the DECLARE functions in an INLINE block, that's the best method. The others are old and only for backwards compatibility.
