How to call the APIs of hMETIS in an application?

How can I use the static library in my application?
There is no header file, and defining an external
function prototype according to the function
specification of the manual, doesn't work.

Thx a lot for any comment,
marc

RE: I presume that you are using

I presume that you are using C++. You need to declare the functions as extern "C".
Anyway, here is what you need to do:

---------------------------------------------------------------
#if !defined(__cdecl)
#define __cdecl
#endif

#ifdef __cplusplus
extern "C" {
#endif

void __cdecl
HMETIS_PartRecursive(int ncells, int nnets, int *cellwgt, int *netptr,
int *netind, int *netwgt, int nparts, int ufactor, int *options,
int *part, int *edgecut);

void __cdecl
HMETIS_PartKway(int ncells, int nnets, int *cellwgt, int *netptr,
int *netind, int *netwgt, int nparts, int ufactor, int *options,
int *part, int *edgecut);

#ifdef __cplusplus
}
#endif

---------------------------------------------------------------

RE: Compiling works, but API call ends up in segfault

thank your very much for the API call.

compling and linking now works, but when i try to call the API, it immediately ends up in a segmentation fault. debugging doesn't help. I have checked my memory allocation and the assignment to netind and netptr, and for me everything seems to be OK.
i've also implemented a version to call HMetis externally, and i use exactly the same hypergraph data, and this version is working.

the segmentation fault is occuring in function CreateIncidentHGraph__(), that's all my debugger can tell :-(

any hints how i could get rid off this fault?

thx in advance,
best regards,
marc

RE: it still can't work it seems

it still can't work
it seems a .h file is needed
