Problem:
I am trying to create an extension to the MEP.EXE editor. I am
unable to get the editor to load my C extension. To simplify things I
tried to get the editor to load the sample SKEL; however, I was
unsuccessful. I receive the following error messages when loading:
"cannot load skel - invalid argument"
"skel is an illegal setting"
My LIBPATH is c:\os2\dll and skel.dll is placed there. If skel.dll
is not in my libpath I would get the error "no such file or
directory". My MAKE and DEF files for SKEL are as follows:
SKEL MAKE FILE
#
# Makefile for the MEP Editor Extensions
#
SYS=\os2\dll
.c.obj:
cl -c -Gs -Asfu -G2 -Lp $*.c
.obj.dll:
link /NOI /NOD exthdrp.obj $*.obj,$*.dll,nul.map,,$*.def;
skel.obj: skel.c skel
skel.dll: skel.obj skel.def
$(SYS)\skel.dll: skel.dll
copy skel.dll $(SYS)
SKEL DEF FILE
LIBRARY SKEL
EXPORTS
_ModInfo
SKEL
Response:
The extension is not loaded because the DEF file is incorrect. The
file should be as follows:
SKEL.DEF:
LIBRARY
EXPORTS
_ModInfo
EntryPoint
This file should be used with all the extensions that are written.
It need not be modified.
