I'm writing a python module to talk to the IR port, the problem I have found is that when I declare the global variable "RCommServ server" I get a "ERROR: Dll 'SERIAL.PYD' has uninitialised data.", when I declare this variable in a function it works fine.

Why am I getting this error? How do I fix it?

Thanks

P.D: Below the piece of code where I declare the variable

   [.....]

_LIT(RS232,"ECUART");
_LIT(IRCOMM,"IRCOMM");


RCommServ server;


extern "C" PyObject *
Init(PyObject* /*self*/, PyObject *args)
{
   [.....]

the error I get:

Welcome to Symbian world pyd debugging

I already had this error ...
In brief you can't have data in DLL but look at
for problem resolving ...

I'm happy that you dive into C++ symbian programming
Please share your IR library when you have finished it !

Well, actually you can, but I don't recommend using this technique unless you know what you are doing: http://pymbian.sourceforge.net/misc/statichack/

Anyways, because you are not porting code, it is better to use other methods (see the examples how to set global variables, SPyAddGlobalString etc).
