A .lib with dependency to another .lib without including it.

[freddix]

Hello, I have a special question.

I'd like to create a .lib file (when creating a DLL one) that own dependency to another .lib (my .lib will then call some functions directly from the .lib) file but without including it nor, the need to include external link.
My .lib will in fact be a plugin for the another .lib set

Is it possible and how ?

Regards,
Fred

Hi,

And, yes.
If you link a DLL into another lib, you just have to deliver both of the lib in your software package.

The Sole exceptions are userlibs and static lib.
If you link such one into your DLL, you don't have to deliver the other lib in your package.

Best regards
