error calling capitalized c routines

Sun, 07 Sep 1997 22:26:34 -0700

I am using DJGPP and the gpc20b.zip binaries from simtelnet, downloaded 
from simtelnet in september 1997.

When I try using the grx20 graphics library (also aviable from the djgpp 
download sites) it fails. Most functions in this library have one or more 
capital letters in them, eg. GrSetMode(). I manage to declare this in 
pascal after reading the info, but when I compile, the linker can't find 
the functions, because it is looking for grsetmode(). 
I have found two workarounds: 
1. Use "gpc -S", and replace "call _grsetmode" with "call _GrSetMode" in 
the resulting assembly file, then compile and link that.

2. Go back to C and define interface functions like 
	int grsetmode(...)
	  {
	    GrSetMode(...);
	  }
Both methods have disadvantages...

If you reply to this, please reply directly by mail, as I am not (yet) a 
regular reader of this mailing-list. Thanks!
