Binary Only Dll (test.dll) with the header file (test.h)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
- I have a binary only dll (test.dll) that was created in windows which exports to functions
- int Add (int, int)
- int Subtract (int, int)
- I want to use this dll in Linux from an application mydlltest.cpp.
- In that process, I have tried the following:
- Generated the .spec file using winedump
- winedump spec test
- This created the .spec file with stub functions
1 stub add
2 stub Subtract
- Installed this dll as builtin dll in my wine directory (This is my testing purpose)
- chmod a+x testdll_install
- ./testdll_install <wine_path>
- cd <wine_path>
- autoconf
- ./configure
- make depend && make
- Now I am able to see this dll in dlls directory of winepath
I am not finding any README on Winebuild and I am getting problem from this step onwards,
- NOW do I need to generate the .def for the spec file of the dll??
- NOW do I need to change any settings like DllOverrides to access this dll from my test application??
- Now I have a win32 application (mydlltest.cpp) that was using this dll in windows.
- How can I link the (test.dll) from the application (mydlltest.cpp) ?
- I use the LoadLibrary("test") in the test application ( mydlltest.cpp), the dll was loaded
- I got the GetProcAddress() for the function "Add", the function pointer is obtained
- *But when I call the function "add" from the application, I was getting exception*.
- Then I define the stub function in the test_dll_main.c, to print a trace message.
- Compiled the dll again to create the test.dll.so
- Now, when I call the function "add" from the application, the trace message is printed, BUT THE ACTUAL FUNCTION IN THE TEST.DLL is not called.
* (I Created the .def file from the .spec file of the dll and tried the same. Still I am getting the same problem)*
**
* How I can use winebuild after creating the .spec file using winedump, so that I can link that dll using the Application.??*
* Any detailed steps that can help in using a third party binary dll in Linux using the Test Applciation ??*
Thank you
