Dear Sir

I am trying to build some functions using C language. these functions are
mentioned in the postgresql documentation.

.ExternalClass .EC_hmmessage P {padding:0px;} the only function that are work are the one with int32 variable.
the other function bring errors and are not working
any body can give directions

here are the code and the error , i compile them using vc++ 6 and VC++ 2008 and minGW the example below are for minGW

THANKS

the error

in function 'makepoint':
error: 'Point' undeclared (first use in this function)
error: (each undeclared identifier is reported only one
error: for each function it appears in.)
error: 'pointx' undeclared (first use in ´this function)

error: syntax error befre ')' oken
in function 'copy text':
error: 'invalid lvalue in assinment
In function 'concat_text'
error: invalid lvalue in assignement
warning no new line at end of file

Please any direction of how to solve the problem

here is the command i wrote in MinGW

gcc -shared -o hamzeh.dll tt1.o -L "c:/programme/postgresql/8.3/lib" -lpostgres

thanks
