And here's my library in /Libraries/MiUtilities.mq4:

string MiTimeToStr(datetime dateTime) {
   return TimeToString(dateTime, TIME_DATE | TIME_MINUTES | TIME_SECONDS);
}

 

When running the importing indicator, it just crashes, no comment is printed. 

 

When compiling libraries in the strict mode, the export modifier should be added for each exported function, otherwise the function will not be accessible from outside.
