Re: [Dev-C++] DLL Troubles

Lo there
------------
I have had the same problem writing plugins for Sonique and I think it is a 
Micro$oft thing
for I have also tried to compile the DLL with Borland Compilers Like 
borland C++ 5 (not the Builder)

and it still does not work if a Micro$oft product pick the DLL up and opens 
it..

OK lets be honest if you look at the DLL the function names does look 
different than what you made it But that realy does not
effect the way it is read (considering it is static or not)

I have noticed that the Borland Compilers add Debug info entry points to 
the DLL even if you say exclude that  :(

Anyways coming back to the Bloodshed DLL. If you compile the DLL the linker 
will say the following

Warning: no export definition file provided
dllwrap will create one, but may not be what you want

No that says that ya must write a def file for this dll to say where the 
entry points are If I amm correct..

But hey that is geussing..
Anyways when creating a DLL project the example given there is kinda good 
and okay..

Well that is enough blabing.. I hope some of this may help in a way to 
solve the problem for I dont know a
answer for this yet.. have tried a lot of stuff but no answer yet..

Good Luck
Johannes
