    making two DLLs into one DLL

    Hello everyone,


    I have two DLLs and two related import libraries, and currently I want to merge them into one DLL and on import libraries.

    Are there any smarter ways to quick merge them? Any tools in Visual Studio 2005? I want to keep the exported function in both DLLs and import libraries.


    thanks in advance,
    George

    Just link both sets of source files into a single DLL, and that's about it. If you are using .DEF files you'll obviously have to produce a combined .def file with unique ID's for each function.

    Have I missed something that makes this more difficult than I think?
