Hi, I am currently testing 2 DLL and LIB. However I don't know how to link/insert these DLL and LIB into my MFC project?
Should I just insert project into workspace?
I tried to include some header files from other project as well. But the compiler returns me 'cannot open include file'. What is wrong?
I am using VS 6.
It is urgent. Hope someone can help me here.
Thank you.
If you are linking the DLL implicitily you have to add the *.h and the *.lib, and store the DLL in the application directory or in the Windows system directory.
If you are using it explicitely (LoadLibrary), you don´t need to add any file.
I see.
I am not sure whether I have done is correct or not.
I have this dll called 'com.dll'. I have all the files to develop this dll.
Now in my won workspace called 'test', I want to open a serial port. 'com.dll' could do everything for me, but I need to give the portname and baud rate.
#include portRSR232.h //this file is in the folder to build the DLL
in my callforPortfunc()
{
.....
s8* name = "COM1";
port = new RS232Port(name);
port->openPort();
}
However, I got these errors as below. Is there any where in VS6 where I need to define the path for the DLL?

Hi I think I have solved the problem. It is dependencies problem.
Thanks.
