fortran dll

[BB_Herman]

I am trying to build a dll that was built using fortran.  When I go to configure the Call Library Function the function inside the dll does not appear in the drop down list. I have read the following post http://forums.ni.com/ni/board/message?board.id=170&message.id=109150&query.id=13087#M109150.

The question is how is the dll being built?  What are the exact commands and switches used, what does the def file look like?

I have followed online examples and examples in the fortran manuals on how to build the dll, but to no avail.  I am using Fortran 5.1 with DOS  6.22 and transferring the dll to an XP machine.

Thanks

I didn't use Fortran 5.1 for many years, but I'm pretty sure it only can generate 16 bit dll's.
I don't think that LabView supports this dll type. You need to build a native 32 bit Windows dll.
Unless you're using a very old version of LabView, of course.

Paolo,

Thanks.  That was it.  I got hold a Fortran package that builds 32 bit dll's and everything works fine.  Thanks again.
