Hi all,
I'm starting a new post because the previous one has gone in a confusing direction. Here's my question:
I have a DLL: test.dll. It has 2 functions:
int ReturnNumber(void); // returns 98765
int ReturnAnotherNumber(int, int); // multiples both integers and returns the value
That's all I know about the dll. I don't have the sourcecode. I don't have the .lib.
To use the dll, I write the following. I call it usethedll.c:
#include <stdio.h>
int ReturnNumber(void);
int ReturnAnotherNumber(int, int);
int main (int argc, char **argv)
{
printf("Test: %d\n", ReturnNumber()); //notice I can use the function simply by calling it, no need to loadlibrary or getprocaddress
printf("Test: %d", ReturnAnotherNumber(8,9)); //same thing here
return 0;
}
With GCC, I compile the code as such:
gcc -L. -ltest -o usethedll usethedll.c
My question is, how do I use test.dll as easily in Pelles C?
Thanks!
polib.exe test.dll /out:test.lib
cc -x usethedll.c test.lib kernel32.lib
Brilliant! That works. Thanks :)
