First of all, thanks this great toolkit.
I think we should have DLL as the default output on Win32.
This needs minor code changes to the sp_func.h and sp.c files. (I
already have them)
Another thing we need, is to slightly change the interface of
SP_receive.
The argument syntax is not friendly towards easy conversion to .NET
PInvoke.
I have a modified wrapper, but I have done just enough to suit my
purpose.
The C# API was not stable enough for me to use (get runtime exceptions),
so I have wrapped the C library as a DLL within PInvoke.
It was a breeze, thanks to both Spread APIs and Microsoft's cool
PInvoke. This can be standardized as a part of the toolkit too, as the
maintenance overhead should be low.
Regards
Chetan
