Hi,

Yes it is possible, and very simple.

Just write a procedure like this:

Code: Select all

 
ProcedureDLL Whatever(agrument1.l, argumen2.l)
  ; do whatever
EndProcedure

Now set Executable format (under compiler Options in the Editor) to 'Shared DLL'
After compilation, you'll have a file called 'purebasic.dll' in the PBcompiler-Directory, that's all.

A problem is that the compiler adds a '_' to the procedure's name.
So when calling your DLL, it should look like _Whatever .

That's it, hope it helps...

A debugged program is one for which you have not yet found the conditions that make it fail.
