Some questions remains: What's the difference between a windows and a console DLL? (see linker target options) Since both are 32 bit DLLs wich may be called from any 32 bit application why do the need different startup code? (c0d32.obj vs. c0d32x.obj) Can c0d32w.obj used with both (windows and console)?

(c0d32.obj vs. c0d32x.obj) c0d32 is for normal (US) dll c0d32w is for wide char dll. c0d32x is for a dll that doesn't use or support exceptions Quote: Can c0d32w.obj used with both (windows and console)? Yes, as long as the Window or Console app realizes that your dll uses wide char strings instead of single byte chars.

Use /Tpd for DLL. here an output from a german version: c:>bcc32 -h -MW Borland C++ 5.6.4 für Win32 Copyright(c) 1993, 2002 Borland Verfügbare Optionen (* = Standardeinstellung, xxx = hat Unteroptionen: verwenden Sie -h -X): (Hinweis: -X- oder -w-XXX machen im allgemeinen die Definition oder derenAufh ebung rückgängig, die durch -X) gesetzt wurden -MW Ziel ist eine Windows-Anwendung -MWC Ziel ist eine Konsolenanwendung -MWCDR Ziel ist eine Konsolen-Dll-Datei, die die dynamische RTL verwendet -MWCDV ... von der VCL benutzt -MWD Ziel ist eine DLL-Datei oder eine dynamische Link-Bibliothek -MWDR Ziel ist eine Windows-DLL-Datei, die die dynamische RTL verwendet -MWDV ... von der VCL benutzt -MWM Ziel ist ein 32-Bit-Multithreading-Datei -MWP Ziel ist eine Anwendung, die Delphi-Packages verwendet -MWR Das Ziel verwendet die dynamische RTL -MWU Unicode-Anwendung erstellen -MWV Ziel verwendet den VCL-GUI-Rahmen The english version should print something like this: -MW target is a Windows application -MWC target is a console application -MWCDR target is a console Dll, using dynamic RTL -MWCDV ... used by VCL -MWD target is a DLL file or a dynamic link library -MWDR target is a Windows DLL, using dynamic RTL -MWDV ... used by VCL -MWM target is a 32 bit multithreaded file -MWP target is an application, using Delphi packages -MWR target uses dynamic RTL -MWU create unicode application -MWV target uses VCL-GUI-frame No idea what Borland means with Windows and console DLL... It's difficult for me to understand the startup code, because I'm not familair with assembler.

It's difficult for me to understand the startup code, because I'm not familair with assembler. So then, your question is really, what's the difference between the compiler (not linker) options -MWCDR and -MWDR I don't have docs on those. The -M must be new. On older versions, they would be -WCDR and -WDR C = Console D = DLL, R = RTL The old help doesn't show those combinations, only -W -WC -WD -WR z Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         BorlandTalk.com Forum Index -> C++ Builder (Command Line Tools) All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum C++ Builder Newsgroups----------------C++ BuilderC++ Builder (ActiveX)C++ Builder (Announcements)C++ Builder (Command Line Tools)C++ Builder DatabasesC++ Builder Databases (ADO)C++ Builder Databases (Desktop)C++ Builder Databases (InterBase Express)C++ Builder Databases (Multi-Tier)C++ Builder Databases (SQL Servers)C++ Builder (Graphics)C++ Builder (IDE)C++ Builder (Internet)C++ Builder (Internet Socket)C++ Builder (Internet Web)C++ Builder (Jobs)C++ Builder (Language)C++ Builder (Language C++)C++ Builder (Compatibility with MFC)C++ Builder (Native API)C++ Builder (Non-Technical)C++ Builder (Students)C++ Builder (Third Party Tools)C++ Builder (Upgrade)C++ Builder (VCL)C++ Builder (VCL Components Usage)C++ Builder (VCL Components Development)C++ Builder (VCL Usage)C++ Builder (WinAPI)C++ Builder Installation Delphi Newsgroups----------------Delphi (General)Delphi ActiveX Controls UsageDelphi ActiveX Controls DevelopmentDelphi As400Delphi DatabasesDelphi Databases (ADO)Delphi Databases (dbExpress)Delphi Databases (Desktop)Delphi Databases (InterBase Express)Delphi Databases (Multi-Tier)Delphi Databases (SQL Servers)Delphi DeploymentDelphi GraphicsDelphi IDEDelphi InternationalizationDelphi InternetDelphi Internet Isapi-WebBrokerDelphi Internet WebSnapDelphi Internet WinsockDelphi JobsDelphi Language BASMDelphi Language ObjectPascalDelphi Model Driven Architecture (General)Delphi Model Driven Architecture (Third Party)Delphi MultimediaDelphi Native APIDelphi Non-TechnicalDelphi ObjectPascalDelphi OLE AutomationDelphi OO designDelphi OpenToolsAPIDelphi Reporting-ChartingDelphi RTLDelphi StudentsDelphi TeamSourceDelphi Thirdparty ToolsDelphi Thirdparty Tools (General)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (IntraWeb)Delphi Thirdparty Tools (RaveReports)Delphi UpgradeDelphi VCLDelphi VCL ComponentsDelphi VCL Components UsingDelphi VCL Components WritingDelphi WebServices SOAPDelphi WinAPIDelphi XMLDelphi Installationcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.misccomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.usagecomp.lang.pascal.delphi.components.writingcomp.lang.pascal.delphi.databasescomp.lang.pascal.delphi.misccomp.sources.delphi JBuilder Newsgroups----------------JBuilderJBuilder AnnouncementsJBuilder Applet IssuesJBuilder As400JBuilder CompilerJBuilder CORBA/RMIJBuilder DatabasesJBuilder DB SwingJBuilder DebuggerJBuilder DeploymentJBuilder DocumentationJBuilder EnterpriseJBuilder HandheldJBuilder IDEJBuilder JavaJBuilder JavaAPIJBuilder Java LanguageJBuilder Java SwingJBuilder Java BeansJBuilder Java Beans UsageJBuilder Java Beans DevelopmentJBuilder JBCLJBuilder JDataStoreJBuilder JobsJBuilder LinuxJBuilder MacintoshJBuilder & MobileSetJBuilder MultiLingual AppsJBuilder Non-TechnicalJBuilder OpenToolsJBuilder Servlets (JSP)JBuilder StudentsJBuilder Team DevelopmentJBuilder Thirdparty ToolsJBuilder UpgradeJBuilder Installation InterBase Newsgroups----------------InterBaseInterBase Bug DiscussionInterBase GeneralInterBase IBConsoleInterBase OpenSourceInterBase ReplicationInterBase SQLInterBase ThirdpartyInterBase Installation Miscellaneous Borland Newsgroups----------------AppCenterAppServerEnteraVisiBroker  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
