copied!<p>Yes you can but I would strongly recommend against it if you don't have to. It's fiddly and it feels like you need to sort out your dependencies better.</p> <p>To do it, you have to use <code>LIB.EXE</code> to create an import library from the object files of one binary before you actually link it; use this import library to link other binary and create an import library for the other binary; finally use the other library's import library to link the original binary.</p> <p>E.g.</p> <p>exe.c:</p> <pre><code>#include <stdio.h> void __declspec(dllimport) dllfn(void); void __declspec(dllexport) exefn(void) { puts("Hello, world!"); } int main(void) { dllfn(); return 0; } </code></pre> <p>Compiler with <code>cl /c exe.c</code>. <code>exe.obj</code> is created.</p> <p>exe.def:</p> <pre><code>LIBRARY exe.exe </code></pre> <p>Create import library with <code>lib /def:exe.def exe.obj</code>. <code>exe.lib</code> and <code>exe.exp</code> are created.</p> <p>dll.c:</p> <pre><code>void __declspec(dllimport) exefn(void); void __declspec(dllexport) dllfn(void) { exefn(); } </code></pre> <p>Compile with <code>cl /c dll.c</code>. <code>dll.obj</code> is created.</p> <p>Link DLL with <code>link /dll dll.obj exe.lib</code>. <code>dll.dll</code>, <code>dll.lib</code> and <code>dll.exp</code> are created.</p> <p>Link EXE with <code>link exe.obj dll.lib</code>. <code>exe.exe</code> is created. (<code>exe.lib</code> and <code>exe.exp</code> are also recreated.)</p> <p>Run exe, note the <code>Hello, world!</code> output.</p>
