Ooops, How will I explain that ?... In the pascal header of the library that gives problems this is defined : var libhandle : {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}longword{$ELSE}{$IFDEF CPU32}longword{$ELSE}PtrInt{$ENDIF}{$ENDIF}; And in all the other library-headers that i use without problems it is defined like this: var libhandle:TLibHandle=dynlibs.NilHandle; Maybe (surely) the first definition is wrong. I have to re-test the problematic library with var libhandle:TLibHandle=dynlibs.NilHandle; and see if it is ok for GetProcAdress(). Maybe that was the problem. Write you later. PS: Sorry for all the noise but it is not easy. FreeBSD, in his pkg install a_library gives only the main dynamic library (.so). All dependent-libraries are static (*.a). So the end user has to re-compile all .a libraries to make it dynamic. For the library in question: -> libmp4ff.a --> gcc -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive Then you have a dynamic library. Huh, not so easy because there is the C war... So you have to make: gcc -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive CC -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive clang -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive cpp -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a -Wl,--no-whole-archive And test each result with nm libmp4ff.so.0.0.0. Finally, cpp gives something "doable". And the problem was to know if that compiled library was ok. Now, thanks to your help, I am sure the library is ok. I feel bad to not have seen that the (surely) wrong declaration of library_handle was maybe the cause of all the problems.
