So if I have:
int setcallback(callback_t yourfunc, int tag);
I must declare:
EXTERN setcallback(afunc as pointer, tag as integer) as integer
private sub mycallback(tag as integer)
...
END
...
setcallback(mycallback, 25)
Is it right?

I must download this last revision of gambas, and compile it. I never
tried to do it. How do I download it? Possibly without SVN? Can it work
without QT4? I would prefer not to mess up my machine... (fanatic of
"stable" repositories...).
Can you advice?
Thanks,
Doriano
