[fpc-devel] library export in Linux

[ABorka]

Thanks, Jonas.

Any suggestion why apache 2.2.8 does not want to load the FPC compiled 
apache modules (ex: mod_hello.pp in packages/httpd2/examples) on Linux?

.
.snip
.
{$define Apache2_2}
uses SysUtils, httpd {$ifndef Apache1_3}, apr{$endif};

var
  test_module: module; public name 'test_module';

{*******************************************************************
*  Free Pascal only supports exporting variables on Windows
*******************************************************************}
{$ifdef WINDOWS}
exports
  test_module name 'test_module';
{$endif}
.
.snip
.
begin
   default_module_ptr := @test_module;
   FillChar(default_module_ptr^, SizeOf(default_module_ptr^), 0);
     STANDARD20_MODULE_STUFF(test_module);

     with test_module do
     begin
       name := MODULE_NAME;
       register_hooks := @RegisterHooks;
     end;
end.

does not work ("Can't locate API module structure").
The length of module_struct (module = module_struct) is correct compared 
to the C compiled working apache modules.
Did these example programs work before fpc supported "exports test_module"?
