Calling dylib functions in Office for Mac VBA

Question

I am attempting to call a simple function that is stored in a simple dylib file, from a simple Word for Mac macro,

I\'m creating the .dylib with Xcode5 on OS-X Mountain

Answer 1

Rather than looking up the mangled name, I suspect the easiest way is to wrap your function declarations:

extern "C" {
bool testFunc();
}

Answer 2

Success! (ugh, it was there the whole time?)

This tutorial succinctly covers the basics of calling .dylib functions from VBA.

Just be sure to install Xcode Command-Line Tools so that you can use the nm command to get the symbols from your library.
