hard drive search results for cygwin1.dll:
5 copies in glbasic compiler directories, as shown in screenshot below:

Ok all fine, sounds like a EditorE bug. We will see what gernot find.

It seems you pressed F8 or F5 to build. That makes a Win32 exe file. Press Shift-F8 and select "Win32-dll". It should build fine then.

[Schranz0r]

Doesn't work Gernot! There is a bug ...

[MrTAToad]

The Shift+F8, and select Win32-DLL works here...

[Schranz0r]

Ok works, was my bad xD

[Hemlos]

stupid human bugs LMAO


Gernot can you add the shift f8 thing to the export command in the manual?

EXPORT function_name
If you create a DLL, this function will be exposed to the public interface and the wrapper-gbas file will yield it, too.

What exactly does this mean:
'function will be exposed to the public interface '

Does it mean dll will be decompiled into a legible cpp?

[Kitty Hello]

No. A dll is sort of an exe file w/o main entry point. But you can have a list of functions that are exposed to a readable interface. Thus, you can dynamically link to these functions and use them as if you linked then into your program in the first place.

[Hemlos]

Thank you for all that, Gernot.

One more question(for now hehe),

The dll file has internal functions, called by other functions, in the dll.
Is that going to work without wrapping them into the public files?
Or do i need to have those internal system functions wrapped into the readable wrapperdll.gbas too?

[Hemlos]

ok cool that got rid of all the error messages.
The program starts now...
...and results with a windows error, first thing.
check screenshot screenshot.jpg


I need to investigate the exact cause...ill be back.

Could be almost anything

[Hemlos]

Found it....

GETSCREENSIZE and SHOWSCREEN both crashes the dll program.

My api has an internal error checker/messaging system, these 2 commands are needed.

Anyone aware of a workaround?

[Schranz0r]

you can't export GLB intern functions
Only Gernot can help you

[Hemlos]

you can't export GLB intern functions

Very funny. 

Is there something that distinguishes commands, as "intern functions" ?

[Kitty Hello]

Oh dear. I think I was too quick with the idea that a dll might help. If you use graphics functions, I'm uncertain if they use the same window.

I think what we really need is a safe way for gbal. I see what I can do there. Everything else would just "cripple" the libraray.
