I did make my dll file out off those two files
dll.h
#ifndef _DLL_H_
#define _DLL_H_
#if BUILDING_DLL
# define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllexport)
#else /* Not BUILDING_DLL */
# define DLLIMPORT __declspec (dllimport)
#endif /* Not BUILDING_DLL */
DLLIMPORT void welcome();
class DLLIMPORT DllClass
{
public:
DllClass();
virtual ~DllClass(void);
private:
};
#endif /* _DLL_H_ */and dllmain.cpp
/* Replace "dll.h" with the name of your header */
#include "dll.h"
#include <windows.h>
#include<iostream>
using namespace std;
DllClass::DllClass()
{
}
DllClass::~DllClass ()
{
}
DLLIMPORT void welcome()
{
cout << " Welcome home " << endl;
}
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain (HINSTANCE hInst /* Library instance handle. */ ,
DWORD reason /* Reason this function is being called. */ ,
LPVOID reserved /* Not used. */ )
{
switch (reason)
{
case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
break;
case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
break;
case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
break;
}
/* Returns TRUE on success, FALSE on failure */
return TRUE;
}now I want to call welcome() function in this DLL from my test_main.cpp
main.cpp
#include <cstdlib>
#include <iostream>
#include<project3.dll> // <<---------- the dll file include
using namespace std;
int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
welcome(); // <<------ this function in the DLL
system("PAUSE");
return EXIT_SUCCESS;
}but I got those errors
3 \including dll\main.cpp project3.dll: No such file or directory.
9 \including dll\main.cpp `welcome' undeclared (first use this function)I have project.dll in the directory
And when I made the dll file I didn't have anyfile *.lib
I only have a file libProject3.def I tried to include it but it won't work either
any advice please ?
Thanks
