World: r4wp

Other libraries have rather extensive file type info, temp.dll has 
no such info. Don't want to spam it here ....

Can you pm me the reports?

E.g. libiconv: file type: Dynamic Link Library (0x2) .... is such 
info just some metadata, which is not needed?

It is needed, but the DLL type flag should be 0x2000.

however - it might be unrelated, if it works for some of you, and 
it does not work for me and rebolek. Maybe somehow related to a czech 
locale Windows version? Any language dependency?

That info (type flag) is not available or at least the tool can't 
see it ...

.... for temp.dll

Just catching up. This is all great Doc (et al). Wow.

Ah ok, the info you get there are Windows file metadata (probably 
a resource section in the file), these are not from DLL core structures.

Gregg: thanks, it would be better if we could solve the issue of 
REBOL not loading those DLLs for some ppl...

Dependency Walker 2.2 (to check DLL:s etc on Win)

I use PE Explorer.

(which has also a handy disassembler)

otoh who knows, how reliable is R2's DLL interface? Maybe it checks 
on some metadata, e.g. a language? It seems only on Czech Windows 
is the problem ...

Gregg: could you try to load this DLL using R2: http://box.lebeda.ws/~rebolek/temp.dll

lib: load/library %temp.dll
f1: make routine! [a [integer!] return: [integer!]] lib "f1"

Pekr: I wonder if there's not an issue with the lack of entry point 
in the DLL, I just don't get why REBOL would choke on it sometimes 
and never the C apps (except your testing tool).

well, but the same library works for you and other users, when used 
with R2, so ....

That's the weid part...

%tamp.dll works for me in W7 running under Virtual Box.

%temp.dll !

REBOL does not return an accurate error msg when failing to find 
a DLL file:

>> lib: load/library %xyz.dll
** Access Error: Cannot open xyz.dll as library
** Near: lib: load/library %xyz.dll


This can be misleading thinking that %xyz.dll exists but is invalid, 
while it doesn't exists at all. So for the people having issue with 
%temp.dll, check if the DLL is present in the working folder and 
that you have correctly CD to that folder in your REBOL session.

Rebol and DLL in same dir. No response at all for me.

No response? That means that it loaded fine.

My virtual XP machine is running I think Belgian localistation (turned 
off, but the base system is localised). W7 host is Czech localisation. 
I should try this with original US version.

MagnussunC: did you try to call the function::

>>f1 123

>> lib: do load/library %temp.dll
>> f1 123
** Script Error: f1 has no value
** Where: halt-view
** Near: f1 123

MagnussonC: you need to define the routine! first:

lib: do load/library %temp.dll
f1: make routine! [a [integer!] return: [integer!]] lib "f1"
f1 123

Rebolek: I run a french localized W7 here and no problem with the 
DLL, I doubt the localization is the cause...

OK, then it works, I guess

So only Pekr and Rebolek have issues with it so far...

works for me too - Win 7 64 bit

Rebolek and Pekr: I just fixed a regression in PE header, can you 
try it with this new revision?

just a note that the REBOL that is linked on the Red github page 
is core, and that doesn't work

I don't recall - did REBOL core only have library support if you 
had a licensed sdk?

Doc - no change ...

Can you check if your TotalCommander tool still spits out the error 
on Entry Point RAW?

yes, still in there:

Entry Point RVA: 	00000000h

Entry Point RAW: 	Invalid or not in CODE section (possible Encrypted 
or Compress Executable)

I will better redownload .zip archive. Is there any way how to get 
link to particular branch, so that I can keep my working directories 
intact and not mix a stuff from various branches into one directory?

You can't mix things if you use a Git client and do a Switch/checkout 
each time...

https://github.com/dockimbel/Red/zipball/dyn-lib-emitter

Pekr: be sure to get the lastest commit (pushed a minute ago).

You can now provide an entry-point callback, see the commit log: 
https://github.com/dockimbel/Red/commit/8e7c1f84226b8a7ebfde0ec08136e88f566fb4bb

I don't understand Git, it's complex on me. How can I not mix stuff? 
What my Tortoise git chooses to sync? How do I request particular 
branch?

It syncs the "versioned" files only (the one registered in the repo), 
your other files are left untouched.

How do I request particular branch?
 I gave you the procedure earlier for TortoiseGit.

I am ok to download zip until I figure it out ... Did so, and no 
change yet ...

should I do anything else, apart from:

do/args %rsc.r "-t WinDLL %tests/temp.reds"

?

Pekr: maybe you should try with this client: http://windows.github.com

Yes...you need to test with a different source:

Red/System []


on-load: func [a [integer!] b [integer!] c [integer!] return: [logic!]][
	print-line "on-load executed"
	true
]

f1: func [a [integer!] return: [integer!]][a + 1]

#export [on-load f1]
