PureBasic Forums - English

Hi,

When you create a DLL, with editor or command line, the resulting DLL file will be called what you specify as the output file;

sampledll.pb -> sampledll.dll

Up to this point all is OK;

If you look inside the DLL file with a Hex editor, and search for "PureBasic.DLL" you will find this string inside the DLL file.

My questions is;

1) can we rename this string
2) how can one create a DLL which has the correct name, the name of the file (in my case sampledll.dll) instead of "PureBasic.DLL"

Any one know what to do, FRED?

Thanks

Maybe resource hacker can be of some use?

I will take a look, right.

@moonshine, thanks for the pointers, I used resource hacker and modified the "purebasic.dll" and all still works.

@Fred, it would be good to be able to create the DLL with the right name imbeded, thus saving us having to hack the resulting file.

I look forward to your solution.
Thanks
