How to add def file in devc++

[joeyzt]

Well i'm sure this is a very simple answer but i can't work it out or find any info on it.

I am using devc++ 5 and need to add a def file to the project.

I am trying to create a dll that can be used with a VB app, but i keep on getting 'cannot find entry point in dll' error, which i've found out is because i dont have the def file incuded.

thanks

it is a snap
if u are not using _decspec(dllexport) before each of your
functions ,u should use .def (definition module )file which at least
should be this wa :

//dll1.def
LIBRARY DLL1
EXPORTS MyFunc1
MyFunc2
and so on .
read in msdn for more info

to export with .def u should note linker in setting to export with .def .
to verify your exported function u can use
dumpbin utitily in vs/bin directory

c:\>dumpbin -exports dll1.dll
