[fpc-devel] external problem

[rstar at mnet-online.de]

interface

procedure dfCrap(setoperation: Tso); cdecl;

implementation

{$LINK dfc.ow}   //GCC object file style

procedure dfCrap(setoperation: Tso); cdecl; external;
...


The declaration does exist in the interface!
BTW: I am working under Win32.
