I'd like it in the form of  "I've heard of someone who saw some who
compiled the Investigator on w2k..." please.

I'm figuring, but:
1, Is there any material on this, like "internals of oztool" or "the
Mozart architecture"?
2, don't you mean the _FUNDECL and _FUNTYPEDECL macros?
3, does it matter that said symbols are not present in emulator.def?
Or is that how they'll get there? (Aha! I might be slow, but I've got
potential :-) )
(dlltool --export-all-symbols emulator.dll allows me one step furter,
now with the full emulator.def file I get:
Warning: resolving __StaticNameTable by linking to
__imp___StaticNameTable (auto-import)
builtins.o(.text+0x666):builtins.cc: variable '_StaticNameTable' can't
be auto-imported. Please read the documentation for
ld's --enable-auto-import for details.
...)
4, Have these symbols ever been available like that? If not, how could
this ever be linked??
if yes, what version? May I just merge from there for half as many
credits? :-)
(I hope your university has the credit system too :-) )
5, The first missing symbol is oz_addSuspendVarList (unsigned int *).
It is used as OZ_Term *. It is declared in am.hh as TaggedRef or
TaggedRef*. I tried lots of combinatoins, but none works. Could you
give me an example, what to put in mozart.h to have this symbol
properly exported? I wasted the whole weekend experimenting... :-/

How about alignment scheme change? :-)
I'll probably just install a brand new linux somewhere instead.

And one more thing: oztool claims it can handle msvc. Can msvc handle
all the fancy stuff in the mozart source like goto-label aritmetics or
tail recursion detection?


Thanks for all the help:
