I was asked what is the best way to plug the GTBs API (written in C) to a program written in Delphi or Pascal in windows. Preparing a DLL? I am not an expert on this at all, so any help will be welcome.
I found how to do this in Free Pascal in Linux but I am not so sure it extrapolates well to Windows.

Re: Gaviota Tablebases and Delphi
You're releasing the source, right? Could the Delphi developer compile them with C++ Builder and make compatible binaries?

He can make a static library with C++ Builder and link it into Delphi code.
I program ChessGUI with C++ Builder 5 and link in Gaviota32TB.lib and gtb-probe.h.
