Try this: ========================================================== /* dll.c */ #include <stdio.h> extern __attribute__ ((__dllimport__)) void exe_hello(void); void __attribute__ ((__dllexport__)) dll_hello (void) { printf ("Are you there, exe?\n"); exe_hello(); } ========================================================== /* dll.def */ LIBRARY my_dll.dll IMPORTS exe_hello = my_exe.exe.exe_hello ========================================================== /* exe.c */ #include <stdio.h> extern void __attribute__ ((dllexport)) dll_hello (void); void __attribute__ ((dllexport)) exe_hello () { printf ("Yes, the exe is here,\n"); } int main() { dll_hello(); return 0; } ========================================================== gcc -shared -o my_dll.dll dll.def dll.c gcc -o my_exe.exe exe.c my_dll.dll You can do the same thing with import libs if you want, but using a def file is much simpler.
