I answered that question Raven

HWND hWnd = GetCore()->hWnd;

Because of the way the library works, it has to hijack the ReceiveCorePtr function for its own purposes, stopping you from getting the core pointer in that way. So I had to provide a function to allow you to get it.

I'll investigate for you ... but don't forget that patch 5 is coming out soon (hopefully!) and that *will* take priority.

Of course, if you want to help, the answer may be here: http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml under the section 'How can an MSVC program call a MinGW DLL, and vice versa?' - I'll try to sort it out tomorrow night if you don't.

Ian it appears the impdef function has a set of functions non-language specific to export from MSVC to GeneralC for the major compilers.

do it'd require setting up the recompile, then an appropriot make file to include the new .def instead of .dll (i think)

dll_to_def( strDLL )

should be what you'd be looking to use after setting the pragma, but i didn't really read enough to see which pragma you need.
after that youc an call using the __declspec

I've decided to avoid the whole mess - I've been making small changes to the library code to allow gcc to compile the libraries itself for the MINGW version instead of converting the existing Visual Studio ones (not hard - I have to do this sort of stuff at work).

This way, it'll avoid the whole name-mangling/call-convention mess between the two.

I suppose I'll have to install the Dev-C++ compiler now just to work out how everything should hang together to get it to work right (I'm using the Cygwin environment for MINGW).
