The export process results in the DLL's symbols being defined in Test.lib, which can. The strong point of C # is that it is easy to import Dll and Windows API developed in C as well as.Net Framework. The part that provides this functionality is DllImport. DllImport is available under the following conditions. It must also be using System.Runtime.InteropServices in Microsoft Visual Studio.

Nov 22, 2008  How do I link this DLL Library? (I'm using DEVC) battlefrog Hello, I have a dll library that has a.def file included, but no.lib or.a files. In the project settings, Dev C lets me add a library, but it has to be.a or.lib format. Can I convert the.def (which I have) to.lib or.a somehow?? Mal Reynolds. Read this on. Dec 09, 2016  Write a basic DLL in (VS 2015) C and run it from a Visual Basic form. Sep 05, 2012  Ok in that case I have C/CLI wrapper around the c dll. How can I use in the winRT project? My goal is to use the C/CLI dll in a metro app. Sep 29, 2011.tlh is a header file created during the import process. It should have turned up in the debug or release folder, along with a.tli file and your.obj files, etc. As you're using a 64 bit system, has the ADO dll turned up in 'Program Files', or 'Program Files (x86)'???

I can't figure out for the life of me how to import a class declared, defined and implemented within a dll into a host app using any GNU build systems. The two compiler suites I have are Dev C++ and the newer Code::Blocks.

I have no problem with this using any Microsoft products that I have. The two Microsoft products I have are Visual C++ 6 and eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0.

Below is a simple test dll & host app to show my difficulty, along with Compile Log tab and Compiler Tab from Dev C++ (The CodeBlocks errors are exactly the same). The dll - dllCBox - just creates and exports a simple class to calculate the volume of a box. The host app simply tries to import the class, declare a CBox, and output its volume. Note that this is just a test case I put together to concisely show the problem. In the real situation I create a String class of my own within a dll where I create several grid custom controls. In the host that creates instances of the custom controls I also have access to my string class. This architecture is something I use to good advantage frequently, rather than implementing the same string class in the dll & the host app, which would be wasteful. Anyway, here is the example..

Here is a simple Host app that just uses the CBox class to get the
volume of a 3 by 4 by 5 box..

Here is output from either VC++ 6 or Windows CE eMbedded VC++ 4.0 on Handheld. There it works like a charm. The
mechanism there is to tell the IDE that the host project is dependent on the dll project.

With either of the GNU compiler suites (Dev C++ or CodeBlocks) there is an option to specify 'parameters' to the Host app build. With Dev C++ you go to the 'Project' menu and execute 'Project Options'. That brings up a dialog with tabs and if you choose the Linker tab you can add the proper export lib from the dll which you wish the host app to link against. libdllCBox.a is what is produced by Dev C++ & CodeBlocks using the GNU compilers. Below are the error messages from Dev C++. The ones from CodeBlocks are about the same..

By the way, I noted from the above Make file that the apparent linker line was..

-L'C:/Dev-Cpp/lib' libdllCBox.a

and that got me to wandering what directory the linker was looking to find libdllCBox.a, so I pasted a copy of it right in the compiler's lib directory along with all the other compiler libs, but it didn't do any good.

Also, I might point out that the above techniques I've described of adding the export lib from the dll to the parameters list box under Linker Settings works fine in Dev C++ or CodeBlocks when it is simple functions being exported from the dll; however, it most
certainly doesn't work for exporting classes and that is why I'm asking. I simply don't know how to do it. I expect its some little simple thingie/setting somewhere, and I'd love to know what it is. Can anyone help me with this?

I did a search here at daniweb and came with some discussion of this issue with regard to Microsoft compilers, but didn't find anything about the GNU stuff. Here is that link..

why is that class declared extern 'C' ? C programs can't call c++ classes, to that declaration is pointless.
