I use xharbour pcode dll and call dll function with HB_LibDo("MyFunc"). This
is ok.. but I would like to call MyFunc directly without HB_LibDo... can I
do it linking importing lib to my exe?
I tried creating mylib.lib from mylib.dll with no success.
Any hint?
Another question.. can I put fwh.lib and others libs in a standard.dll like harbour.dll. This can make my exe small so I can download it more quickly.
Thx,
Roberto Parisi

USHORT uiParam;
hb_vmPushSymbol( pDynSym->pSymbol );
hb_vmPushNil();
/* same logic here as from HB_FUNC( EVAL ) */

}Hi antonio, thx for your reply.
What I want to do is not call dll code from C.
I want to use dynamic DLL as static lib to call functions directly.
ex:
// TestEXE.prg
procedure main()
Test1()
return
// TestDLL.prg
procedure Test1()
Alert("Test1")
return

Roberto,
Please try this:
impdef.exe mylib.def mylib.dll
mylib.def will be created (ascii file). Please post its contents here, thanks
Thx Antonio,
with impdef I found my mistake... I compile prg code without EXPORT so I got no exported functions.
Many thx for your fast and accurate help.
Is there a way to put fivehx.lib, fivehc.lib and other libraries inside a single dll fiveh.dll to link into my application with an import library fiveh.lib?

Roberto Parisi

Thats why I wanted you to use impdef.exe, to check it

You could try to build a pcode DLL using the libs.
Antonio,
i tried with this:
ilink32.exe -C -Gn -Gi -Tpd -x -Lc:\apps\fwh901\lib;c:\apps\xharbour\lib;c:\apps\bcc55\lib -aa c0d32 maindllp cw32.lib import32.lib fivehx.lib fivehc.lib, fiveh.dll
my res dll is only 58Kb
Regards,
Roberto Parisi
Roberto,
Please create the def file again from the DLL, and also the map file using ilink32
You need to link a module that forces the link of all other modules
Ok Antonio,
I don't know what functions will be used from the main app so I want to force linking of all functions inside lib files.
is there a way to go?

Roberto Parisi
Roberto,
Try to link TWindow, as it will links lots of classes and functions.
You may need to link others that may not be included.
This is the def file linking TWindow. The file is only 100Kb

What about extract all obj from fivehx, fivehc and link into the dll?
Regards,

Roberto,
The problem is that you need to export all the functions and classes that you want to use from your EXE.
The def file is going to be huge, unless we find another solution.
