Thread: metrowerks codewarrior and dlls

does anyone use metroweks codewarrior and have tried to make a
dll using the code extern "C" __declspec(dlllexport)?
whenever i try to compile it it says there is a decleration syntax error at the first apostrrify of C
Does anyone have any sugjesttions on alternates that might work.
I've also tried the method where you define that code to something else and use
it instead of the whole thing but it didn't work now i just have the whole thing written
above the function I need extractable

qotations sorry

the only thing that stands out to me is how you spelled dllexport with three l's. I'm sure that's not the problem thought. It looks ok as it is.

i wonder then why my compiler dosent like it

__declspec(dll**port) is a linker instruction to guide the linker on how to resolve imported symbols....its not part of any language and so is very compiler/linker specific...

To my knowledge (and my knowledge of CodeWarrior is brief), the instruction you want is __declspec(import) not __declspec(dllimport) ....I may be wrong on this though as I use MSVC++ more or less exclusively

thanx the import or export or dllexport dosent make a difference to the compiling but the export turns blue which means it is something like #define but the only way it'll compile is if i take out "C" But that problby means it wont work without the C whatever it means

God Fordy You are a genius thats all there is to it thank u so much! i geuss my compiler works with out the "C" because the hook works great!Ill say it again Fordy u are a genius!
