Hi,

I still have no success in linking against a dll on windows.

The dll import source looks like this:

...
{$linklib 'hdf5'}
...
function H5open:herr_t;{$ifdef BSD}cdecl{$endif}{$ifdef Win32}stdcall{$endif};external;
function H5close:herr_t;{$ifdef BSD}cdecl{$endif}{$ifdef Win32}stdcall{$endif};external;
...

and compiles okay.

The demo program used for testing does the obvious:

...
uses {$ifdef FreeBSD} BaseUnix { size_t an friends }, {$endif}

     hdf5;

...

and uses functions normally as declared in the unit hdf5.

On FreeBSD this works as expected, on window it doesn't. Using -vv gave (shortened, can be posted in full lenght):

...

I have only adjusted some basic functions to use stdcall instead of cdecl on windows, so ignore the lines about undefined symbols having an underscore at the start.

The dll is in the program directory. And it does get found. Another issue might be:

in the units target dir there are three files:

-rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 77104 Jun 7 05:45 hdf5.o -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 154410 Jun 7 05:45 hdf5.ppu -rw-rw-rw- 1 user group 8 Jun 7 05:45 libimphdf5.a

If I assume the libimphdf5.a is the missing import library and look at it:

!<arch>

That's in there, nothing else (8 bytes).

What's going wrong here, how can I make it work?

TIA,
Marc

Hi, I still have no success in linking against a dll on windows. The dll import source looks like this: ... {$linklib 'hdf5'}

You should change this to {$linklib hdf5.dll} for windows. Otherwise the compiler will try to link to a static library.

... function H5open:herr_t;{$ifdef BSD}cdecl{$endif}{$ifdef Win32}stdcall{$endif};external; function H5close:herr_t;{$ifdef BSD}cdecl{$endif}{$ifdef Win32}stdcall{$endif};external;

It would be better to have

function H5close:herr_t;{$ifndef windows}cdecl{$else}stdcall{$endif};external;

This way it will also work on Linux, and Mac OS X.

Michael.

Nice pitfall, I didn't find that in the docs.

But however, it did not make a change (see below). Meanwhile I adapted the import statemments to be sure, but it doesn't help.

Another part is to adapt the declaration of variables. Currently they are defined like this:

H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR_g : hid_t;cvar;external;

and as you can see in the fpcdebug.txt the name mangling is wrong:

10000002:Error: Undefined symbol: _H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR_g

How does it have to be defined for Windows?

Maybe, HDF5 is very configuration dependant, but good hint, I'll do it that way. :)

Thanks,
Marc

P.S.:
Here is a big part of the -vv output (I fear more than 40kB won't pass to the list):

Hm. what options did you specify on the command-line, and what options are in the configuration files ?

Show quoted text 11 lines

Another part is to adapt the declaration of variables. Currently they are defined like this: H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR_g : hid_t;cvar;external; and as you can see in the fpcdebug.txt the name mangling is wrong: 10000002:Error: Undefined symbol: _H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR_g How does it have to be defined for Windows?

No idea; it probably depends on the used C compiler ?

Hi again,

I have more questions on linking. What can prevent dynamic linking from being possible? Like in the following snippet from fpcdebug.txt:

Is there any documentation on this topic?

I'm amazed that this is an issue, I would never expect problems on such matters ...

I'm using a standard configuration as generated by the installation. That is stripped down to active lines:

<fpc.cfg>
# Allow goto, inline, C-operators, C-vars
-Sgic

# searchpath for units and other system dependent things -FuD:\FPC\2.2.0/units/$FPCTARGET/
-FuD:\FPC\2.2.0/units/$FPCTARGET/*
-FuD:\FPC\2.2.0/units/$FPCTARGET/rtl

# searchpath for tools
-FDD:\FPC\2.2.0/bin/$FPCTARGET

# Always strip debuginfo from the executable
-Xs

# Write always a nice FPC logo ;)
-l

# Display Info, Warnings, Notes and Hints
-viwn
</fpc.cfg>

aside with using

{$mode objfpc}{$H+}
{$ifndef win32}
  {$linklib hdf5}
{$else}
  {$linklib 'hdf5.dll'}
{$endif}

in the source of h5_attribute.pas. This is a demo for the hdf5 package and both are made using fpcmake:

<main Makefile.fpc>
#
# Makefile.fpc for HDF5 Bindings
#
programs=h5_attribute h5_compound h5_group h5_read h5_write \ test_lite test_image test_table

[package]
name=hdf5
version=1.6.5

[target]
;units=hdf5 hdf5_hl
units=hdf5
programs=

exampledirs=demo

[compiler]
;options=-CX -Xi -XD
options=-vv

[require]
packages=
libc=y

[install]
fpcpackage=y
prefix=$(FPCDIR)

[default]
fpcdir=$(FPCDIR)

[shared]
build=n
</main Makefile.fpc>

<main/demo Makefile.fpc>
[target]
programs=h5_attribute h5_compound h5_group h5_read h5_write \ test_lite test_image test_table

[require]
packages=hdf5

fpcpackage=y

[default]
fpcdir=$FPCDIR

[compiler]
;options=-CX -Xi -XD
;options=-vv -Fu.. -Fi..
options=-vv

</main/demo Makefile.fpc>

The variable $(FPCDIR) is set in the windows environment to the base of the binary installation opf fpc:

set FPCDIR=D:\fpc\2.2.0\

The package is built and installed and has (as mentioned somewhere) a mostly empty limimphdf5.a.

IIRC this is MSVC in version 6 or so. I'll look after that.

You should remove any -XS -XD -CX options you can find, they are causing this.

Maybe it's the initialization, that could be done in another way (e.g. a separate unit if necessary):

<unit hdf5>
unit hdf5;
...
initialization
	{ C has this in macros all over the place. Since it has to be done
	  once we do it here before anything else happens and are happy :) }
	H5open();
	{ Initialize standard type vars for copying }
	H5T_NATIVE_CHAR := H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR_g;
	H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR := H5T_NATIVE_SCHAR_g;
...
</unit hdf5>

I'd say this has nothing to do with the problem then, I got those message after trying to compile without the help of fpcmake and make.

fpc -Fu.. -Fl.. -Fl. -Fu..\units\i386-win32 -Fo.. -Xc -Xe -XD -k'-lhdf5' -vv h5_attribute

Btw., testing used both, internal and external linker.

If anything else fails, yes, I can. But that may take a little while to do some cleaning up from my testbed.
