Ooops,

How will I explain that ?...

In the pascal header of the library that gives problems this is defined :
var libhandle : {$IFDEF MSWINDOWS}longword{$ELSE}{$IFDEF
CPU32}longword{$ELSE}PtrInt{$ENDIF}{$ENDIF};

And in all the other library-headers that i use without problems it is
defined like this:
var libhandle:TLibHandle=dynlibs.NilHandle; 

Maybe (surely) the first definition is wrong.

I have to re-test the problematic library with
var libhandle:TLibHandle=dynlibs.NilHandle; 

and see if it is ok for GetProcAdress().

Maybe that was the problem.

Write you later.

PS: Sorry for all the noise but it is not easy.
FreeBSD, in his pkg install a_library gives only the main dynamic library
(.so).
All dependent-libraries are static (*.a).
So the end user has to re-compile all .a libraries to make it dynamic.

For the library in question: -> libmp4ff.a -->
gcc -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a
-Wl,--no-whole-archive

Then you have a dynamic library.

Huh, not so easy because there is the C war...
So you have to make:
gcc -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a
-Wl,--no-whole-archive
CC -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a
-Wl,--no-whole-archive
clang -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a
-Wl,--no-whole-archive
cpp -shared -o libmp4ff.so.0.0.0 -Wl,--whole-archive libmp4ff.a
-Wl,--no-whole-archive

And test each result with nm libmp4ff.so.0.0.0.
Finally, cpp gives something "doable".

And the problem was to know if that compiled library was ok.

Now, thanks to your help, I am sure the library is ok.

I feel bad to not have seen that the (surely) wrong declaration of
library_handle was maybe the cause of all the problems.
