Hi List

It appears that if you want to dynamically link to a library (both calling program and library created in Lazarus) in OSX Yosemite, any exported functions need to use the cdecl declaration, and not StdCall. The StdCall declarations work fine in Windows.

Lazarus 1.2.6
FPC 2.6.4
Win 7 64bit
OSX 10.10.2

Anyone else had this problem?

Also, where do you put the library? I've been copying it to /usr/lib to get it to work. How do I store it in the MacOS or Resources directory of the .app and have it found at run-time?

Thanks

Graham.

It's not a problem it's rather a common convention.

Windows platform is using stdcall for dynamic libraries. Unix platforms (OSX included) is using cdecl.

An example OpenGL binding in FPC are working fine this way.

Try to put the library into:
youprogram.app/Contents/Frameworks/
