How to use the DLL which consists of c++ objects from > main program. See http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ and scan for "How to make DLLs using EGCS". I've just updated my dllhelpers package to version 0.2.5 that provides examples for C, C++ and F77 DLLs (sorry, not ObjC yet). Be warned however that the design of MS DLLs makes it extremely hard to create DLLs from C++ code in some cases (especially when you're using exceptions, RTTI and a few other recent C++ features in a DLL). For most "normal" code, it should work just fine. Cygwin runtime itself is a C++ DLL. Regards, Mumit -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
