Hi,

We have a 3rd party dynamic library that we build with gcc and try to
use from a mach binary built with CW8.3. However, when we go to load
the symbols we fail to find the functions we're looking for. Is there
anything special that you have to do to load a dll at runtime if it's
gcc and your a CW mach binary?

Thanks,
-Mike

Is this a C++ DLL if so then GCC and CodeWarrior are not always
compatible. Is this a C++ program you have? It may be that you need to
mark the headers as extern "C" in order to access them.

You can write up a bug report on this but please includes something so
we can test it. This may have been something fixed or improved with CW
9.
