A Question about convert ==> DLL to => LIB

[ukoenig]

Hello,

Can this be a useful tool, together with FWH,
to convert DLL's to LIB and include in the Make-file ?
If it is possible to use the tool, I don't need these functions ?

DLL32 FUNCTION CREATEDIBITMAP( hDC AS LONG, hInfoH AS LONG, nFlags AS LONG, ;
hBits AS LONG, hInfo AS LONG, nUsage AS LONG ) AS LONG ;
PASCAL FROM "CreateDIBitmap" LIB "gdi32.dll"

Uwe,

It may work for some DLLs, but Windows DLLs as "gdi32.dll" can't be converted into static LIBs.

What you can do is to use implib.exe to create an import library from a DLL, and then code your function in C code instead of using DLL FUNCTION ... (static linking vs. dynamic linking).

Antonio,

thank You very much for the information.
Reading the text, I didn't know exactly, what i could
do with it.
