Re: [Dev-C++] dll / linux

   Sorry, I missed your point, isn't Wine a Windows Emulator of some sort? Why would someone need to "link" a dll to a process that uses Linux code ( as the original poster said ) inside a windows emulator? 
   You kinda lost me there pwm.
   
   Refering to the media players that read win codecs... well, as I said, it *is* possible. But as I also said, its doubtfull that the code is as smooth one. 
The aformention media player has to resolve many things in process, when linking to the DLL. Even if the module dll is implicitly linked to the process, it still loses much to a native format ( *.so ) that has all the dragging parser code and resolver code done by the OS.
   I do not want to deny your claim, but I do not see the point in a media player ( A good one, at that ) to use this techniquee.
     
     
   Anyway, apart from diferent technical views, Yes you are right, when one does not have all the needed information, it is hard to anyone to help in a significant way.
