How to make a dll file from a lib file?

[mobile-it]

Is it possible to make from a lib file a dll? I want to use this file in LabVIEW but LabVIEW doesn't support lib files; only dll for node for importing C code.


thanks in advance

Dll Problem

Make a dll exporting the functions that labview needs. In the dll, link in the lib file and the exported functions just use the lib code.

Re: Dll Problem

Do you have some books/links about dll programming?

If they have some addition to how to use them in labview would be wonderfull but not necessary.

thanks for your help already!

Dll Problem

I use Borland Builder and this would be a piece of cake to do in Builder. You would just use the dll wizard and write wrappers that call the functions in the lib file and link in the lib file. The lib file should come with a header file <*.h> file that contains the function prototypes. The lib file is like a dll file, are you sure there's not some way that labview can use it?

Re: Dll Problem

I use Dec-c++ for making my programs, there is an option for programming dll's; I am experimenting with it at the moment, LabVIEW seems to accept only dll files :s

thanks for your help, I will post a message in some time here!
