Re: Using a Borland C++ Builder DLL in Visual C++ 2005

I have been searching and trying and can't seem to get the a DLL created
with
Borland C++ Builder to 'resolve' simbols when used with Visual C++ 2005.

CBCompile, CBDeCompile, & CBRenumber always seem to be undefined in one
form
or another.

I have tried creating an import library using lib.exe ..
I have tried several variations of the .def file.

Does anyone know the magic?

**** The header file looks like:
extern "C" bool __stdcall
  CBCompile( char*, int*, int, int, int, char*, char*, char*, char* );
extern "C" bool __stdcall
  CBDeCompile( char*, int*, int, int, char*, int, char*, char*, char*,
char* );
extern "C" bool __stdcall
  CBRenumber( char*, int*, int, int, int, char*, char*, char*, char* );

**** My ControlBasic.def looks like this:

LIBRARY ControlBasic.dll

EXPORTS
   _@@Descriptors@Finalize = @@Descriptors@Finalize ;
__linkproc__ Descriptors::Finalize
   _@@Descriptors@Initialize = @@Descriptors@Initialize ;
__linkproc__ Descriptors::Initialize
   _@@Unit2@Finalize = @@Unit2@Finalize ;
__linkproc__ Unit2::Finalize
   _@@Unit2@Initialize = @@Unit2@Initialize ;
__linkproc__ Unit2::Initialize
   _CBCompiler = CBCompile ;
CBCompile
   _CBDeCompile = CBDeCompile ;
CBDeCompile
   _CBRenumber = CBRenumber ;
CBRenumber
; _Form2 @9 ; _Form2
; ___CPPdebugHook @8 ; ___CPPdebugHook
