you may get it compile OK, you may get link it OK too, but it doesn't mean the DLL will run. That's because HL uses a wicked way to pass entities addresses from one DLL to the other ; with a MSVC-style exports name mangling, it always work, but with other compilers, sometimes it does, but most often it doesn't. And this is the main problem we are facing.
