]> Hello! I posted a question some days ago, but it was not very precise. I am trying to use one DLL from Ocaml with camlidl. Since I can't have this work on windows (no problem under linux) because of linking problems, I reproduced it there. There are 4 files : somme.c, somme.def, somme.idl, somme_stubs.def **** somme.c **** #include "somme.h" char * toto[3] = { "un", "deux", "trois" }; handle get(int indice){ return toto[indice]; } char * string_of_handle(handle h){ return (char *) h; } **** somme.c **** **** somme.def ***** EXPORTS get string_of_handle **** somme.def ***** Here is the somme.idl file : **** somme.idl **** typedef [abstract] char * handle; handle get([in] int indice); [string] char * string_of_handle([in] handle h); **** somme.idl **** **** somme_stubs.def **** EXPORTS camlidl_somme_get camlidl_somme_string_of_handle **** somme_stubs.def **** Here are the steps (*files are the 4 hand-written files): *somme.def|-3->somme.dll|-5->somme_stubs.dll *somme.c|-2-> somme.obj| | *somme.idl-1->|somme.h | |somme_stubs.c-4-> somme_stubs.obj | | *somme_stubs.def | |somme.ml |somme.mli 1/ ocamlidl -header somme.idl 2/ cl /c somme.c 3/ link /dll /out:somme.dll /def:somme.def somme.obj 4/ ocamlc -c somme_stubs.c 5/ Here is the step I cannot pass, because there are always unresolved external symbols. I cannot guess which library I should link? Is it possible that I made something wrong when installing camlidl? FIRST TRY: link /dll /out:somme_stubs.dll /def:somme_stubs.def somme_stubs.obj somme.lib Microsoft (R) Incremental Linker Version 6.00.8168 Copyright (C) Microsoft Corp 1992-1998.

COMMENTS: I did the same thing on linux and it worked fine. I did it with a simpler idl file on windows (without abstract type definition) and it worked too. Where am I wrong ?
