Hi Eryk,

sounds reasonable, except that I would try to write
the wrapper in "plain" C instead of C++ to avoid
problems with name-mangling and V-Tables etc.

I also don't know if your static lib can easily be
wrapped up for a DLL (afaik, DLLs must be compiled
in position independent code).

If you are able to read german the following link might provide
help: http://www.mikrocontroller.net/forum/read-8-369925.html
if you are not able to read german try babelfish or ask me
directly for translation help ...

regards
