[Firebird-devel] Problem linking against fbclient.dll using mingw

[Raul C. <ra...@sq...>]

Hello,

I'm trying to obtain a .def file from fbclient.dll (standard firebird 
1.5 win32 distrib). The problem is that the symbols in fbclient.dll 
seems to be in cdecl format (ie. "isc_encode_date"). On the other hand, 
looking in ibase.h, functions seems to be declared as stdcall:

> #if defined(WIN32) || defined(_WIN32) || defined(__WIN32__)
...
> #define  ISC_EXPORT	__stdcall
...
> #else

...

> void ISC_EXPORT isc_encode_date(void *, ISC_QUAD *);

Because of that, when I'm trying to link against fbclient.dll (actually, 
against the libfbclient.a obtained from the .def file) I get errors like 
this one:

> undefined reference to `isc_encode_date@8'

AFAIK, "isc_encode_date@8" is a symbol in stdcall format. Am I wrong ?
