Hi All,

I would like to connect a C interface to another software package with
my Ada programs.

The h-file of the api contains the following pre-processor commands:

#ifdef SPSSXD_EXPORTS
# define SPSSXD_API __declspec(dllexport)
#else
# if MS_WINDOWS
#   define SPSSXD_API __declspec(dllimport)
# else
#   define SPSSXD_API
# endif
#endif


Some functions headers are

SPSSXD_API bool IsBackendReady();
SPSSXD_API int SetUpFromSPSS(SpssAdapter* anAdapter, SpssXDSmb*
anSmb);

What do I have to do to get a connection between the C functions and
my Ada program with regard to the commands of the pre-processor?

Regards

Cedric
