subject: Help linking MSGAPI32.DLL with EMX

I have been trying to use the API calls from Scott Dudly's MSGAPI library,
I am using the header files from the Squish developers kit (SQDEV200) and
EMX/GCC 0.8h.

The problems start when I try to call any function in the _apifuncs struct
using the wrapper macros ( MsgCloseArea() for example ). I have examined the
structure at runtime using GDB, and it seems the function pointers contain
garbage, though no error is returned from MsgOpenArea().

I have inserted the relevant #pragma pack(1) directives, and I can build
the library and static link without problems.

Has anyone else successfully used this API with EMX or GCC/2 ?

        - Geoff
