- Link with Unilink instead of DMD/Optlink.
Why not use this instead of Optlink if it works?
I'll check it out... though VisualD doesn't support this.
Cause its status is.. nebulous.
Closed-source, no homepage, just an ftp.
You have no guarantee it doesn't get abandoned one day.
Also what if there are blocking bugs and the author is away for some time?
- Use the Digital Mars COFF2OMF tool to convert to lib to OMF.
Unfortunately, the tool isn't free, but IIRC it's inexpensive.
Seriously... I just simply won't bother, and write my app in C instead ;)
Exactly. That's what people will do/do/have already done.
I could probably build my engine as a DLL... I've been planning to do
this for a long time anyway.
Maybe this is the extra bit of motivation I need to do it ;)
Good practice anyway. Code should always be modular.
