Create Shared library with blitz3d

Blitz3D Forums/Blitz3D Beginners Area/Create Shared library with blitz3d

Hi folks!
I'm what you would call a seasoned novice in programming. So please be patient.

My question is this:
Is it possible to create a shared library in blitz3d? A "dll" that can handle some image manipulation for my other programming language?

Does blitz3d support shared libraries?

If so, are there any examples around?

Sincerely,
Donald

In short, no you can't create .dlls in Blitz3D. You can *use* them (if suitably wrapped... I don't know the details of this), but you certainly can't create them.

Purebasic ( http://purebasic.com/ ) is a good, low cost, language for making DLLs.

Freebasic is also capable of creating .dll's and as the name implies is free http://www.freebasic.net/ . I used it to create the blitz3d+ dll http://www.blitzbasic.com/Community/posts.php?topic=75711#846042

Thank you very much!
I'm digging into freebasic now.

Emergence BASIC (www.ionicwind.com) is also capable of creating DLL's. In addition it does DX9 graphics and is free.

If you want a reliable BASIC language where you can be 100% sure that a bug is not compiler related, then I would go for PowerBasic.
