Re: Issue with WIKI example Win32_DLLs_in_D

[andre via Digitalmars-d-learn]

I think there is a bigger issue with the mentioned example.
The command cannot work:
dmd test mydll.lib -g
test.d has an import statement to mydll. mydll has to be included 
in the command. But as mydll not only contains the exported dll 
functions but also DllMain, it cannot be compiled together with 
test which contains the main entry point.

Maybe the example can be corrected.

Kind regards
André

Funnily enough I was just playing with this last night trying 
to get Excel to talk to dlang DLL.  I borrowed a C example 
elsewhere on web and used a different .def file.  Something 
like this:

LIBRARY         dprop
DESCRIPTION     'My DLL written in D'

EXETYPE                 NT
CODE            PRELOAD DISCARDABLE
DATA            WRITE

EXPORTS
                useArray = useArray
                usemyTest = usemyTest

Where the two functions exported from D to excel were as above.
 Try that and let me know.  If that doesn't work I will send 
you a link to from repository.
