For those of you that have asked for it, here is the recls D mapping, and a couple of test programs: one uses the D-ified API, the other uses the Search class, and freaches its contents

Let me know if you have issues

"I can't sleep nights till I found out who hurled what ball through what apparatus" -- Dr Niles Crane

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I guess I should have explained a little more. The zip contains the following:


lib\recls_lib_dm834.lib - the C API, already compiled with DMC++
mappings\D\recls.d      - the recls D mapping. You will need to compile this
mappings\D\makefile    - a makefile to compile the recls D mapping. Creates
lib\recls.D.lib and lib\recls.D.debug.lib
test\D\recls_test_1.d    - a test program that uses the D-ified API
test\D\recls_test_2.d    - a test program that uses the Search class
test\D\makefile             - a makefile that builds the two test programs

If you have any problems, just post here and I'll try and fix. (If I don't respond soon enough, email me to remind me)

Still having a little trouble getting recls compiling on windows (XP, home). The DMD shell will not run the makefiles out of the box - it seems to have a problem with underscores and dashes in the name (BLAH_BLAH not found). Then when it gets to the suffix rules, it says the same, and I do not know how to fix that (.d.obj not found). Finding little luck there, I resorted to writing batch files to compile it.

I actually got the mappings compiling (seeing as this is my first time to do this sort of thing, that is pretty amazing). However, there is something wrong with the outputted recls.D.lib - the linker says it isnt a valid library. I figured that maybe it needed definitions (.def) or something, so I tried to write my own .def file. Having no experiance in this, I obviously did it wrong, because all of the functions I had in there could not be found. Hrm. I also tried just adding /DEF to lib.exe options in hopes that it would generate it on its own? Just guessing...

Anyway, what am I doing wrong?

Hi Paul

I have no idea what you're doing wrong. Are you using the latest DMD?

There's no need for a .DEF file at any point, since we're not dealing with DLLs. The makefile in the mappings\D creates a .lib in the lib directory (alongside the C lib recls_lib_dm834.lib). The makefile in the test\D creates two .exes that each link to the two libs (the C lib, and the generated D lib) in the lib directory. I've tried it on several machines here to check it's not a green issue, and it all just works.

Can you download the nvx tool from my website (http://synesis.com.au/r_systools.html) and run it in your command box as "nvx -p -l", and post the output?

Also, can you copy the results from the make attempts and post the output?

Hopefully we can track this down.

Everyone else: could someone else try this out, just to make sure I've not gone green?

Cheers

Matthew

I get the same error , specifically :

Also, on line 584 you have

i think should prolly be !== ( hehe, i see your point its easy to overlook )

Im at work now but Ill test it more when I get home

Doh!  Its calling Microsofts linker , using DMD's runs fine.

I run test1 and I get

Error: Assertion Failure recls_test_1.d(214)

I havent looked at the source not sure what there supposed to do but test2 yields

$ recls_test_2.exe

Ah! I'm using the dm836 link.exe

I guess the answers for people who are not using DM's link.exe to remove that flag?

Have you got a working version you can post now?

Yes indeed! Let me have a look to see whether that's valid.
