Hi, I made some further steps WRT to getting a DLL compiled with DMC. Here are the current error messages:

---

    virtual bool DRV_GetStatistic(e4_Space sp, e4_SpaceStat st, int &v);

To me this looks like the only difference is that the interface specification of class e4_StorageImpl has the DLL export stuff mentioned and the e4_MetakitStorageImpl not. Here are the specificaiton lines:

class e4_DLL e4_StorageImpl : public e4_RefCounter
{
	virtual bool DRV_Commit() = 0;
...

class e4_MetakitStorageImpl: public e4_StorageImpl
{
	virtual bool DRV_Commit();
...

Is it necessary to move the DLL specifier down the inheritance chain?

Hi, ok got it. It was a problem of the "bool" definiton. Robert
