Carbide and DLLs??

[AlexSludnikov]

Hi all,

I have created a symbian dll project in carbide, and would like to use it in another project. I haven't found info on the necessary steps to link my dll to a project. First of all, do I have to use a special build configuration for the dll? As far as I understand I have to get the dll and the lib (dso?) file to the urel folder - how can I achieve this in carbide? Where can I find more info on this?

Thanks

Welcome to the Forum Nokia Developer Discussion boards.

Add #include to the header file where APIs (which you are using) are defined and link against the .lib file.

And what kind of build would I need? How would I make carbide put the dll and lib in the urel folder?

If you want to test your application and your dll on emulator then firstly build dll for WINSCW platform, after that build test application for WINSCW platform.

If you want to test app/dll on device then use "Phone Release (or Debug) (GCCE)" configuration.

Ok, I did the WINSCW build, and I have managed to link my DLL to the project but I have 2 problems now:
(My DLL is just the example DLL project that carbide generates, and I have a test project for this DLL)
1. The emulator just crashes when in the test project it reaches CMyDLL* t = CMyDLL::NewLC(); (sometimes it gives system error (-1))
2. The least serious problem: When I try to add new functions to the DLL, carbide won't recognize them (It will not color them). I tried freezing, building, deleting the generated files but nothing helps

Which dll type you trying to create (static or dynamically linked library)?

Also check examples provided with SDK - <path_to_SDK>\Examples\Base\DLLs\

Right now I'm trying to make the static dll work. I think I understand the structure of the dll project, but my problem is with carbide. I suspect that I am missing something with the build (because the lib of the dll appears after a couple of builds and freezes, which is weird)
