building a project and creating a dynamik link library

hi,

i am using Digital Visual Fortran 6.0 , and i have a few questions:

1- when i want to build a project, it gives me an error like that

Linking...
LINK : fatal error LNK1104: cannot open file "dfor.lib"
Error executing link.exe.

to correct this, i go Projects
Settings=>Link=>Category(Input)=>Additional Library Path: C:\Program
Files\Microsoft Visual Studio\DF98\LIB

i used not to do that before for building my projects, but now i have
to do.

is there a way to build my project without such a linking error by
avoiding adding additonal library path?

2- While creating a dll (dynamik link library) in fortran develper
studio, can i use common blocks, allocate(array(size)) intrinsic
function and pointers for arrays in my fortran source code?

Your lib (and include?) path got screwed (by installing some other
Visual Studio component?). However, you can fix it
permanently by adding it in Tools/Options/Directories/Library Files.

Yes. You can do almost everything from a Dll which you would do from
an .exe, with only a few limitations (which I'd skip explaining here
as it's unlikely you'll encounter them).

thanks a lot, you helped me very much.

i solved my library path problem, but i cant yet solve another one
which i had thought that it caused by that library path problem.

i cant view the subroutines (entry points) in the resultant dll with
the dependency walker component of visual fortran, which is a very
useful tool to view what kind of components there are in a dynamik link
library, while i used to have no problem with that before that library
path problem.

thanks,

Check dll exports with "dumpbin" utility. If they differ from what you
see in Dependency Walker you probably need to reinstall the compiler.
