Re: linking problem in DPAPI

dear all:

if the test fail.
maybe I should choose Explicit linking by loadLibrary,GetProcAddress
function in

Package body XXX
begin
-----start loadLibrary and GetProcAddress...
end XXX;

but It's not so friendly...





<complain>
off the topic...
in MS-windows environment,sometime gcc(not ada) make me confused.
why ld.exe can not link .lib format directly?
I must say those problems will effect someone learning ada and
misunderstand it.
