I'm starting to learn C++ and I would like to know how to make a simple DLL. The DBP help files include a tutorial on how to make a dll in Visual C++ but I am using Digital Mars. Could someone give me a breif tutorial on how to make a hello world type dll?


All help would be greatly appreciated

I have the Digital mars compiler (CD version) but I've never used it for DBPro DLLs - in fact I don't currently have it installed anywhere. If you encounter problems, just email me and I'll see what I can do to help.

It looks useful and I would appreciate it if you put it back up

Y'know, I wish I could find someone to host that stuff for me ... arty html stuff just isn't my bag man!

The 'Learn how to write them' bit ... I never got around to finishing that. The bits that you want to look at currently are under the 'My DLLs ...' bit.

Pick out the Matrix1Utility (not the exe) from the top, and the Framework (3rd from the bottom) and download them. The framework is the one you should start with ... it's all commented and has a readme to help you. The utility one contains all sorts of commands so that you can see how I used to write DLLs.

Someday, I might get around to putting something together that explains how I currently write my DLLs ...
