From: setera@us.ibm.com (Craig Setera) Subject: Global data in DLL's how? 23 May 1998 05:19:30 -0700 Message-ID: <5010400023089780000002L002*.cygnus.gnu-win32@MHS> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain To: Let's see if I can explain what I think is happening in hopes that someone can offer a decent solution. I'm (still) trying to build DLL's for the GIMP. There are 3 libraries that make up GTK (the Gimp Toolkit). GLib, GDK and GTK. In GDK, there is a file that declares an number of global variables. If I build each of these into separate DLL's, I find that the global variables don't seem to be shared between GDK and GTK. It appears that each DLL is getting its own copy of the variables rather than sharing a single copy. So, other than providing functions (this would be a cleaner way to do it in the first place) to retrieve the information from GDK is there a way to make sure that each of the DLL's has access to the same copy of the global data?
