First, let me declare my ignorance of MS development and Visual Studio in general.
I've got a FPC-generated .dll file I want to implicitly link with in a Visual Studio (Visual C++) project. If I understand what I'm reading, I have to have a "import library" .lib file which corresponds to my .dll. I don't see an obvious way to create this file using FPC directly. Can anyone with experience using FPC-generated .dll's in VS help me out? So far my googling has turned up some MS tools (dumpbin.exe and imp.exe) which I can use to generate a .lib file from a .dll file (although in kind of a roundabout way), and I've also come up with ImpLib (http://implib.sourceforge.net) which has some tools (dll2def and fasm) which will generate a .def file and then a .lib file. Do I have to turn to third party tools to do this, or is there an easier way to generate what I need with FPC? What about the next step (actually using the .dll in Visual Studio)? I realize this message is more about VS than FPC, so I apologize if it's offtopic. Thanks, -SG -- This email is fiction.
