It would be helpful if you could tell what exactly the problem is.

But from first glance, you need at least to add {$mode objfpc} or {$mode delphi}
so integer is 32-bit instead of 16 bit. Secondly, normally you should
add a 
{$packrecords C}

directive to ensure record alignment compatible with C.
