Building APE's with Borland C++ Builder

[fOSSili]

No,

I don't think, visual c++ is needed. Shouldn't simple class definitions be equally represented by bcb and vc?

Uh, when i think about it, c++ compilers differ in many way's. And when it comes to _MS_ compilers...

I have a idea to solve this problem: If someone can write a "wrapper-ape" thet can load a .dll dynamically ? Like avi-render or image-render do this with media. In the loaded .dll (the one I will write) only three simple stdcall functions would need to be exported:
- int init();
- int render(char visdata[2][2][576], int isBeat, int *framebuffer, int *fbout, int w, int h);
- int destroy();

Thats all. And it can be heavily ported to other Languages (thinking of Borland C++ Builder and Delphi too) because it doesnt use this C++ Classes Stuff.

It would be REALLY great if someone can think about it, because not everyone can buy Visual Studio, but has access to simpler compilers, which can build .dll's too.

Thanks for your effort on that (hopefully),
Andreas
