Has anyone tried this? Would it work for use with PB?

nope, and have you tried that way : (must have mingw32 installed)
Code: Select all
pexports yourdll.dll > yourdll.def
dlltool -d yourdll.def -l libyourdll.a (or .lib)

dlltool produce an import lib, the dll is still needed where dll2lib create real static lib. (no implicit linking)

yup I tried it before it works. You need to use LibraryMaker to create a wrapper for PB to use.

NEdit at pureArea.net is such a lib (converted
from a freeware dll).
i think, in most cases it will work. with another dll
i have got errors and the .lib is many bigger as the
dll. (dll = 85 KB, the generated lib = ~300 - 400KB).
a better way is to bind the dll with the UdRes - lib and load
it with the PBOSL - lib
address = LoadLibraryM(MemoryPointer.l)

Ok, thanks for your feedback guys.
Besides, $399 is a lot of money.

In the actual version of UDRes is LoadLibraryM not required. You can direct
access to DLL functions.

It's not worth the money.
I tried that application and 6 of 10 libraries actually worked without problems.
