DLL problem

[JanH]

Hi there,

has anyone a similar problem like mine?

I wanted to compile just a icon-DLL (a DLL only with icons - no functionality). Wrote a .rc file like

Code: [Select]


101 BITMAP DISCARDABLE "bitmap1.bmp"
102 BITMAP DISCARDABLE "bitmap2.bmp"

compiled it with windres.exe, included it with {$R *.res}.

now, if i compile my project, I get a DLL that will not work. more precisely it wont work in map basic. map basic is a programming language for map info. in m.i. I want to access the icons in my DLL.

If I use my .rc file in C++ and compile a DLL there, it is working well.

My first idea was, that the .res is wrong compiled. But I took the windres of my C++-IDE and put it into lazarus. But the resulting Laz-DLL don't work.
So I think in the linking-process of fpc/laz is the rub.

Now, I wanted to compile a dll with some exported funktions. But this DLL was not identified as a win32 dll. :-(

Any experiences?
