Miva Function Extension - Need MvBinary.zip

[MLT]

Hello,

We have 2 needs related to adding new functions to the miva language using Miva API (not miva merchant). I think the file mvbinary.zip that Jim Harrell made available a decade or so ago would give us the guidance we need. Does anyone have this file? Markus had last posted it over a decade ago under the subject api kit mvcommerce example. If anyone has this available, can you please make it available.

Thanks - mike

Don't know where that file is but this should get you going...

#include <stdlib.h>
#include "mivapi.h"

MV_EL_FunctionParameter customfunction_params[] =
{
"param1", 5, EPF_NORMAL,
"param2", 5, EPF_NORMAL
};

void bi_customfunction( mvProgram prog, mvVariableHash parameters, mvVariable returnvalue, void **data )
{
int param1_length, param2_length;
const char *param1, *param2;

param1 = mvVariable_Value( mvVariableHash_Index( parameters, 0 ), &param1_length );
param2 = mvVariable_Value( mvVariableHash_Index( parameters, 0 ), &param2_length );

// do something with your parameters here

mvVariable_SetValue_Integer( returnvalue, 1 );
}

MV_EL_Function_List *miva_function_table()
{
static MV_EL_Function exported_functions[] =
{
{ "customfunction", 14, 2, customfunction_params, bi_customfunction },
{ 0, 0, 0, 0, 0 }
};

static MV_EL_Function_List list = { MV_EL_FUNCTION_VERSION, exported_functions };

return &list;
}

and compile with something such as

gcc -fpic -bundle -undefined suppress -flat_namespace -I/usr/local/mivavm/include -o customfunctions.so customfunction.c

Excellent! Thank you very much for the quick reply and assistance.

Greatly appreciated!

David,

Thanks again for code snippet! It was helpful. When we do a dump of our dll, we see the appropriate export functions:

DUMPBIN OF OUR DLL
ordinal hint RVA name
1 0 00001294 bi_uspsbarcode
2 1 00001181 miva_function_table
3 2 000013A2 miva_register_library

The problem is that when we try to compile our test script, we are getting a compiler error:
mvc1: Unable to register .DLL/.so 'C:\MSC\BUILTINS\Dll3.dll': Unknown error 193

Update: On another workstation I am getting this error when compiling:
mvc1: Unable to register .DLL/.so 'C:\MSC\BUILTINS\Dll3.dll': The specified module could not be found

Any ideas?

Thanks,
-mike
