Porting !DEC$ ATTRIBUTES DLLIMPORT to linux for access to .so

[Reynolds__John]

I have a DLL written in C++ on Windows, that I want to convert to a shared object library on linux. The C++ work is pretty straightforward. But to access the .so on linux, I don't know how I would change this part of the interface statement in FORTRAN:

!DEC$ ATTRIBUTES DLLIMPORT

I'm using Intel fortran compilers on both platforms, but my code needs to be portable to as many compilers as possible.

You do not need a DLLIMPORT directive on Linux. Of the operating systems we support, only Windows requires these. And for Windows, you do not even need DLLIMPORT if you are calling routines (you do still need DLLEXPORT or a .DEF file to define the routines to be exported.) DLLIMPORT is required for imported variables on Windows.

Thanks Steve.
