Yes, I tried mod-test and it worked properly without using any calling convention such __declspec(dllexport). I have made the following tests: 1. I commented all module's functions related with sqlite3 library and only leave uncommented one of function to verify if the module is working:   /* emacs-sqlite-version*/static emacs_valueFemacs_sqlite_version (emacs_env *env, ptrdiff_t nargs, emacs_value args[], void *data){     const char* msg_docstr = "emacs-sqlite module version 0.1"; return env->make_string (env, msg_docstr, strlen(msg_docstr));} When I require (emacs-sqlite-version) it works as expected. 2. I tested only two function: the previous one Femacs_sqlite_version and other associated with sqlite. Once I consider a module function related to sqlite error message appears: is not GPL compatible I think the error is related with the linking process of the sqlite3.lib . One possible test is not linking sqlite3.lib and stead just using sqlite source code as a part of the module. Do you have any suggestion?
