I’m new to Windows concepts. I’m trying to develop a DLL that also dynamically links against other DLL’s. I’m using Visual Studio 2010. At linking time Visual studio tells me it’s trying to link against a bunch of .lib files. I don’t think Visual Studio should attempt to read any .LIB files if I want my code to perform dynamic linking is that correct? Or do I not understand the use of .LIB files enough?
thank you
As I recall, Visual Studio’s compiler resolves .DLL files by linking against stub .LIB files.
Check, one of them should be kernel32.lib.
