Hi mvr, thanks for your reply!
I tried that as well and got an error on the exact same position as with "Generate DLL Import Liberary...". A closer look at the header file didn't reveal any "simple" problems to me. So I thought about trying to compile one of the M$ VS C++ 6.0 example projects delivered with the dll to see if I get problems there as well. A colleague did this for me an he had no problems at all.
I have to mention that I'm not really accustomed to this C/C++ stuff so I could imagine that I miss some basic concepts of this dll and header story. 0_o
My next guess would be that there are differences between a c and a c++ function definition causing my problem...
LibOpto.h:
...
LIBOPTO int OptoPCI_OpenDriver ( char szShortPath[260] );
LIBOPTO int OptoPCI_CloseDriver ( );
LIBOPTO int OptoPCI_DAQ_Info ( VXD_VERSION_INFO *VersionInfo );
LIBOPTO int OptoPCI_DAQ_Parameter ( WORD id, WORD ChanNo, WORD ChanPos[4], UINT SensorType[4], UINT SensorRange[4], double Autozero[4], WORD BlockSize, BOOL encoderOnFIFO, BOOL useGate, WORD sensor);
...
Now, the error I get is on "OptoPCI_DAQ_Parameter ( WORD id, ..." where
the compiler states: "LibOpto.h"(89,42) syntax error; found
'identifier' expecting ')'.
The first three functions pass. Could it be that there has to be a typedef struct for the whole thing as there is for VXD_VERSION_INFO?
LibOpto.h:
...
typedef struct
{
short IfcVersion;
short FeatureFlags;
char VersionString[40];
} VXD_VERSION_INFO;
...
I'll dig into some books over the weekend... might be that my problems will solve themselves...
