howto use dll´s in C

[christian richter]

Hello,

i have a dll which makes some string conversions, and i want to use it in my
C-Programm in Linux, i found out that wine can execute win32 exe´s and so i
thought it should be possible to use a winelib or something to use the
dll-functions and to get back values from this dll . .
please help me, i  don´t want to convert the whole dll (written in M$ Visual
Basic ) into C - sources ..

thank you

Hi,

If you have the wine sources, or browse them from www.winehq.com, checkout 
tools/specmaker/README. Also see the Winelib developer guide for details on 
Winelib in general.

Note that if all you want is the string routines, thats a lot of overhead for 
a few routines. You might find they are available in source form from 
somewhere else.

Cheers,
Jon
