Re: Inclusion of windows dll into cygwin code

["Niraj Agarwal" <niraja at npi dot stpn dot soft dot net>]

Hi All,

Let me explain the problem.

I have a compiled a dll into windows environment using VC++ compiler. I have written my main function in c which should use this dll. I would like to compile the code using gcc. I have tried to use the export dll concept explained in cygwin user guide but that is not working for my case and generating ld error.


Regards,
Niraj Agarwal

Hi All,

I have written a simple dll using VC++ compiler and now i am trying to link the same to my code running in cygwin environment.

I have created a definition file and using dlltool i have generated .a file. 
I was able to compile and link program successfully but i am facing one problem when i am trying to run the program. it is saying that entry point for the funtion is not defined in the dll.

Note :The dll file, def file and sample program using dll is also attached.

Please help me in this regard.

Thanks and best regards,
