Besides loads os warnings, we were able to compile it without too much code tweaking. Who should we post our code changes to? -----Original Message----- From: iax...@li...

Yup, I had this problem too. I noticed I *could use* zero size arrays in structures in C++ files (.cc). So, I decided to #include "iax.c" into a IAXWrapper.cc file, and to my amazement it now compiles without error. IMHO this is a Borland C flaw, but it has some considerable and undesirable side effects... Apart from the "zero size array within struct" problem, there were a great many other issues, which prevented me from successfully compiling and linking a .dll file which suits Borland C++. Problem with wrapping the files is that you end up wrapping all files in a C++ wrapper, causing a whole bunch of other errors. One problem which occurred often was C++ choking on less strongly type-d code. Especially "illegal" pointer conversions, function prototyping etc.. One reason for some problems which occurred could be that I may have faulty preproccesing macros. I would like to know which macros you have suppied to Borland C++ to compile your code. As I said before, I have been able to compile and link the libiaxclient code into my application, but I had to do a sh*tload editing on the libiaxclient stuff (including gsm, portaudio and what not) before I could use it :-( Somehow, I just feel the port should be possible without so much rework. There should be a neater way of creating a Borland C++ project, comprising of several .dll files (say one for each lib (gsm, speex, portaudio, portmixer, libiaxclient), compiling only those files as C++ as needed by the "zero size array in struct" problem and compiling the rest with C as would be normally required. This way, modifications would not be needed as newer versions of the libs are released.
