C wrapper help

[Randal]

All,

I am trying to write a C wrapper for a function. I've used the DLL command successfully for most of the functions however this function I think is going to require a C wrapper. I do have the lib for this function as well.

This particular function populates a C structure with values. I need to call the function and then return the values in C structure to my .prg. I found a sample on the forum and tried to duplicate it but have not been successful.

The error I'm getting is:

xLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_SMSGETPROVIDER referenced from (Testsms.obj)'.xLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_SMSGETPROVIDER referenced from (Testsms.obj)'.

This is a communications library named SocketTools. I've been using the DLL command version for sending emails via smtp for a few years and it works very well. I am using xHarbour. Below is my code.

Definition of function from help file.

/*
INT WINAPI SmsGetProvider(
LPCTSTR lpszPhoneNumber,
LPSMSPROVIDER lpProvider
);
*/


#INCLUDE "fivewin.ch"

FUNCTION TestSms

SmsGetProvider( )

RETURN NIL


#pragma BEGINDUMP

#include <windows.h>
#include <hbapi.h>

#define SMS_MAXPROVIDERGUIDLEN 38
#define SMS_MAXPROVIDERNAMELEN 128
#define SMS_MAXCOMPANYNAMELEN 128
#define SMS_MAXDOMAINNAMELEN 128


typedef struct tagSMS_PROVIDER
{
int nProviderId;
int nCountryCode;
int nRegionCode;
int nMessageLength;
char szGuid[SMS_MAXPROVIDERGUIDLEN];
char szName[SMS_MAXPROVIDERNAMELEN];
char szCompany[SMS_MAXCOMPANYNAMELEN];
char szDomain[SMS_MAXDOMAINNAMELEN];

} SMS_PROVIDER ;


HB_FUNC ( SMSGETPROVIDER )
{
SMS_PROVIDER aProvider ;

aProvider.nProviderId = hb_parnl( 1, 1 );
aProvider.nCountryCode = hb_parnl( 1, 2 );
aProvider.nRegionCode = hb_parnl( 1, 3 );
aProvider.nMessageLength = hb_parnl( 1, 4 );
hb_retnl( SMSGETPROVIDER(&aProvider) );
}

#pragma ENDDUMP



Here is the .DEF contents if it helps.
LIBRARY "CSTXTAV8.DLL"

Any help greatly appreciated.

First test with

aProvider.nProviderId = hb_parni( 1, 1 );
aProvider.nCountryCode = hb_parni( 1, 2 );
aProvider.nRegionCode = hb_parni( 1, 3 );
aProvider.nMessageLength = hb_parni( 1, 4 );
hb_retnl( SmsGetProvider(&aProvider) ); // C is Case sensitive

Thank you for your reply. Still getting the same error.

xLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_SmsGetProvider referenced from (Testsms.obj)'.

They have not provided any .h header file ?

[Randal]

Yes, there is a header file. I've added that to the top of my .prg but still get the same error message.

The header file is rather long so here is the portion of the header file that pertains to the function I'm trying to use. If you need the whole .h file let me know.

typedef struct _SMSPROVIDERW
{
INT nProviderId;
INT nCountryCode;
INT nRegionCode;
INT nMessageLength;
DWORD dwFlags;
DWORD dwReserved;
WCHAR szGuid[SMS_MAXPROVIDERGUIDLEN];
WCHAR szName[SMS_MAXPROVIDERNAMELEN];
WCHAR szCompany[SMS_MAXCOMPANYNAMELEN];
WCHAR szDomain[SMS_MAXDOMAINNAMELEN];
} SMSPROVIDERW, *LPSMSPROVIDERW;

typedef struct _SMSPROVIDERA
{
INT nProviderId;
INT nCountryCode;
INT nRegionCode;
INT nMessageLength;
DWORD dwFlags;
DWORD dwReserved;
CHAR szGuid[SMS_MAXPROVIDERGUIDLEN];
CHAR szName[SMS_MAXPROVIDERNAMELEN];
CHAR szCompany[SMS_MAXCOMPANYNAMELEN];
CHAR szDomain[SMS_MAXDOMAINNAMELEN];
} SMSPROVIDERA, *LPSMSPROVIDERA;

#ifdef UNICODE
#define SMSPROVIDER SMSPROVIDERW
#define LPSMSPROVIDER LPSMSPROVIDERW
#else
#define SMSPROVIDER SMSPROVIDERA
#define LPSMSPROVIDER LPSMSPROVIDERA
#endif


Here are the functions defined in the .h file...


PUBLIC INT WINAPI SmsGetProviderW(
IN LPCWSTR lpszPhoneNumber,
OUT LPSMSPROVIDERW lpProvider
);

PUBLIC INT WINAPI SmsGetProviderA(
IN LPCSTR lpszPhoneNumber,
OUT LPSMSPROVIDERA lpProvider
);

#ifdef UNICODE
#define SmsGetProvider SmsGetProviderW
#else
#define SmsGetProvider SmsGetProviderA
#endif

I have tried changing the function name to include A or W as above but still get the same error.

xLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_SmsGetProviderW referenced from (Testsms.obj)'.

Thanks,

You have to link some libs they surely provide containing the undefined function.

Enrico:

Thanks for your reply. They do provide a lib and dll and I am linking the library file. Here is a list of functions from the lib.

What am I doing wrong?

[Enrico Maria Giordano]

How are you linking the lib?

I'm using xBuilder so I've just added it to the project. I also tried using the command line option to make sure the lib is being linked and I get the same error.

Randal,

What error do you get ?

Randal,

What error do you get ?

xLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_SmsGetProvider referenced from (Testsms.obj)'.

[Antonio Linares]

Randal,

Please modify this line:

hb_retnl( SMSGETPROVIDER(&aProvider) );

into:

hb_retnl( SmsGetProviderA(&aProvider) );

[Randal]

Randal,

Please modify this line:

hb_retnl( SMSGETPROVIDER(&aProvider) );

into:

hb_retnl( SmsGetProviderA(&aProvider) );

I get the same error message.

xLINK: error: Unresolved external symbol '_SmsGetProviderA referenced from (Testsms.obj)'.

The DLL is using C++ mode.

So you need to compile your C code using C++ mode

Using Borland or Microsoft this is quite easy. What C compiler are you using ?

Could you use free xHarbour ? that would easily solve it.

Antonio:

I'm using xHarbour commercial and xCC. Is there anyway to compile this using xCC?
