I have C++ COM DLL that compiles with both GNU/Cygwin and MSVC V6. I can call the function only when compiled with MSVC 6, however. I think this is because of the screwy private declaration in the Microsoft .DEF file. I never understood why that was required. Anyway, how do I acheive the equiv. effect with GNU/Cygwin C++? Does any one have a sample? Thanks, Siegfried __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get personalized email addresses from Yahoo!
