win32 _decl problems

[Fredrik Karlsson]

Hi all!

After browsing through the archives it seems that alot of problems are
associated with Win32 usage of MP.
In fact, so does mine. And despite all previous questions and answers I
still cannot get things going...

I am using DeltaTrinity's ready-compiled DLL and Visual C++ 6.
My problems is related to using the functions in my own program.

After reading some previous posts I understand that I must use _cdecl.
I have written for example the following:

extern "C" {
	void _cdecl mpz_init(mpz_t integer);
	void _cdecl mpz_set_str(mpz_t rop, char *str, int base);
}

....

mpz_set_str(g, gstr, 16);

The error I get tells me that "second C linkage of overloaded function
'__gmpz_set_str' not allowed".
Other error messages I have seen are related to linking - but I assume these
are caused by not properly using the _cdecl.

So, I do I *properly* use the DLL? Perhaps some samle code?
I am not a very experienced C-programmer, so please explain in reasonable
detail if you wish to help me.

Thanks in advance/
