Hi
Calling functions from shared libraries on Linux and MacOS are easy.
I want to do the same on Windows. Can you show me how?
If you have links to helpful websites, that would be awesome.
I successfully called sqlite3.dll
functions on Windows, maybe for you as a reference:
First, create sqlite3.lib from sqlite3.def:
lib /DEF:sqlite3.def /OUT:sqlite3.lib /MACHINE:x64
Second, put sqlite3.lib
to Crystal/lib
and put sqlite3.dll
to your_app/bin
.
Now, we can call sqlite3.dll
functions by Link
annotation.

I see.
I did indeed need the .lib
file as well as the .dll
file.
Thank you.

Is there any way to get it to work using environment variables instead of copying the lib files directly?
I have tried a little and it did not work.
