I would like to create a library out of go-code and use it inside a C# winforms project.
For the error scroll to the bottom.
Setup
- GO 1.10.2
- tdm-gcc-5.1.0-3
- Windows 10 / x64
- Go-project called
exprt
What I've tried
I've created a minimal go-tool that creates a file in the working-dir:
package main
import (
"os"
"C"
)
func main() {
// nothing here
}
//export Test
func Test() {
os.OpenFile("created_file.txt", os.O_RDONLY|os.O_CREATE, 0666);
}
The next steps were taken from Building a dll with Go 1.7.
I've then compiled to c-archive
with the following command: go build -buildmode=c-archive
which gives me exprt.a
and exprt.h
.
After that I've created a file called goDLL.c
(1:1 as in the link above) and inserted this code:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "exprt.h"
// force gcc to link in go runtime (may be a better solution than this)
void dummy() {
Test();
}
int main() {
}
Lastly I've run this command to create my final dll:
gcc -shared -pthread -o goDLL.dll goDLL.c exprt.a -lWinMM -lntdll -lWS2_32
which gave me "goDLL.dll".
My problem
In C# I've created a winforms-project with 1 button that calls this declared function (copied the dll to the debug-folder):
[DllImport("goDLL.dll")]
private static extern void Test();
Error
System.BadImageFormatException: "An attempt was made to load a program with an incorrect format. (HRESULT: 0x8007000B)"
Sorry for that big block of text but this was the most minimal test I could think off.
I appreciate every help in here.
