Newbie: How do I compile a DLL?

[correro]

Hi I'm not a C++ developer, and I need your help.

I have some CPP files that I need to compile into a DLL.

Can someone give me instructions, including what compiler to download, how to setup the environment, and what command to run?

Thanks!

create a DLL type project, add source and header files to project and compille. To add files to project is not enough to copy the, in the projects ditectory, you should explicitly add them as existing items.

Thanks, IonFilipski. I'm using Dev-C++ for my current purpose. Like you instructed, I explicitly added all .cpp and .h files to my new DLL project. But when I compiled, I got lots of errors.

Since I've had no experience with C++ the language or its compiler before, please give me more detailed instructions on it. Thanks again!
