before i start making a dll with mingw i want to know if there is anything special about it (under c++) such as a different format of decorated names or having to do work arounds like on devc++

or is it like microsoft C++(hopefully)

edit:
also the globstruct and directx header files are compatable with it arent they

n00bs will be shot on spot...
It only gets more logical from here(sigh)

DevC++ is mingw. o_O
Same thing, the only difference being the IDE you use.

If at first you don't succeed call it version 1.0

You know, I've never noticed the bugs in that IDE. What version are you using?

The string table format changes slightly. Im not sure what it is in mingW but somebody around here will probably post an example.

1. The ReceiveCoreDataPtr function will not get called by the DBPro runtime, unless you have an entry in the .def file to export it under the correct name. An alternative is to get the core pointer yourself from eith the Core (GetGlobPtr) or Setup (GetGlobalData) DBPro DLLs.

2. The mangled names will differ. That's the only reason that the resource strings are different. To simplify things, use extern "C" to remove all name mangling.

Apart from those, pretty much everything is the same as VC++.
