[Mono-list] P/Invoke problem

[Louis R. Marascio]

Rafael,

I wish it really were that easy, unfortunately the DLL is indeeed
'PthreadVc.dll'. I typed the dumpbin command line into email manually,
rather than cut & paste.

To answer your windows/linux question, I'm using windows because I'm =
using
the pthreads-win32 port ;).

I'm fairly confident it is finding the PthreadVc.dll because the =
exception
being thrown is an EntryPointNotFoundException, rather than a
DllNotFoundException.

Thanks for the help,

Louis

First, are you trying to run with mono in Windows or in Linux? In Linux, =
you
and .so file not a .dll.

Second, In one line you wrote PthreadsVc.dll, and in others and in your
DllImport you wrote PthreadVc, without the 's' in the middle, beware of
mispellings...

Hope it helps,
