Hello.
I use a external C library (call parent-lib). That library uses a other
external library (call child-lib).
To compile a DLL using a external DLL with Microsoft Visual Studio, you need
the lib file of the child-lib.
If you want to dynamically load those libraries, you need to use "loadlibrary"
and so you can choose the folder of your library.
Sadly, the child-lib cannot dynamically be loaded with Visual Studio.
You need to place the child-lib in the same folder that the parent-lib and if
you load the parent-lib, it load the child-lib...(same for unload).
Now, if i use fpc, translate the C header and use DynLibs.LoadLibrary for both
libraries... it works, i can load both parent and child libraries, even if they
are not in the same folder (and of course access all the functions)...
I can also load only the parent-lib or child-lib or both. (even for unload)
So the question is : Is fpc required to dynamic load C DLL ? ;-)
