>I'm probably missing something really obvious here. I have a program >which requires a DLL to go along with it. I'd like to have them named >the same (e.g. XYZPROG.EXE and XYZPROG.DLL). The problem is that when >I try to declare an import function from the DLL in the DEF for the EXE, >link complains about a "self-import," thinking the EXE is trying to import >from itself. > >I'd really prefer not to have to import the functions explicitly. Is >there some simple way around this problem? Thanks in advance. > set the 'NAME' field in your DLL .DEF file to a different value than the 'NAME' field in your program's .DEF file...
