I changed some things like your callable definition and it worked for me in booi.

But if I compile using booc and then run the exe, I get an error that the types cannot be loaded because EnumWindows has no RVA.

Oh, it works if you run it, but if you make an assembly or .exe out of it, you can't link against it. I'm not even sure if you can run an .exe, I hadn't tried.

What I know is that the P/Invoke signature is valid in C# and I'm not sure why it fails in Boo. ;(

I've been playing with the code that caused this issue a bit, and it seems to only occur if you define more than one P/Invoke per class or per assembly (can't tell which

)

Patch fixes this issue as well as ~~BOO-647~~ (makes p/invoke methods static). Also it will throw an error if you have a p/invoke method with a non-empty body.
