[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

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?
Levis

FWIW, mod-test works properly here on mingw64 with gcc 6.1.0, even with
CFLAGS='-O3'.  Did you try with mod-test?  Do you get the same error?
