Sorry, I know nothing about Ada and how it works. If the "pragma" statement is supposed to take the place of the traditional function prototype in C/C++, then I agree that it looks "OK" (again, based on my knowledge of Ada). But the result is that it's looking for symbols that use the 'C' calling convention rather than the 'stdcall' calling convention. The libraries you are linking to want the 'stdcall' calling convention (since it is the default for Windows). If you cannot get Ada to ask for the proper symbol, you could try using the '--enable-stdcall-fixup' option (for 'ld') to attempt to massage away the problem. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
