i use visual c++.

Hi csuohio.

Your question confuses me a bit. A DLL is a dynamically loadable library. It is not meant to be called as a static library. In order to link this statically at link time, you need to compile the source as a static library (.lib in windows I think). Then you can specify to link this library with your linker directly to your executable.

HTH,

Thanks for ur reply, i know that dll is not meant to be called a dll.But, i have a software that dosnt support dlls.it can support only static libraries.so what i want to do is to build a static library which contains calls to dlls.so i want to know how dll calls can be made in a static library.

Do you mean that your compiler is set up to accept only static libraries and you want to call one from within that program or are you writing a static library and want to call a .dll from within it?
