[TRNSYS-users] functions get.. type char

[Yoshihiro Yamaguchi]

Dear Javier,

I am trying to write trnsys16 components in C++.
But, there are a few problem, as far as I see.

In your case, I think C++ runtime library, which is linked with
your DLL, is inconsistent with that of trnlib.dll.

Try to do followings,

- Recompile trnlib.dll with release mode.
(The problem in debug mode is trnlib.dll is linking both msvcrt.dll 
and msvcrtd.dll.  It is not good.  I could not fix the conflict for now.)
- In your DLL project, change the compile option like the attached png
file.  ( you don't care where it is release or debug mode ).

It worked at least in my environment.  

Good luck.

Yoshihiro
