Hi Dan, thanks for replying. I think I need your second option "write a WineLib app that uses the DLL". The myfile.dll can set-up a connection between two users, I don't know exactly how that works. It works when used in a windows api, but I want support for users running linux as well. So, if I can make the same call in this dll, and have it compatible, that would be great. My first attempt is the program below. I'm sure this SendMessage proc is there (and it takes a single string), but when I run this program it fails with the "Could not get proc address" line. Anybody has a hint why? myfile_dll.h looks empty apart from some includes. Thanks in advance. #include <windows.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #include "myfile_dll.h" static void* (*SendMessage_pointer) (char *); void InitializeDLLs() { HINSTANCE dll; dll = LoadLibrary("myfile.dll"); if(!dll) { fprintf(stderr, "Could not load myfile.dll.\n"); exit(1); } SendMessage_pointer = (void *) GetProcAddress(dll, "SendMessage"); if(!SendMessage_pointer) { fprintf(stderr, "Could not get proc address of SendMessage.\n"); exit(1); } } void* SendMessage(char *a) { return SendMessage_pointer(a); } int main(void) { InitializeDLLs(); SendMessage("This is a test"); return 0; } _______________________________________________ wine-users mailing list wine-users@xxxxxxxxxx http://www.winehq.org/mailman/listinfo/wine-users
