Hi Chris,

I'm sorry, I only just received this mail in my box. So my reply is a 
bit late.

Is it possible to build a DLL which can be used in other programs, 
instead of just using the source files? Because it then can be used in 
other languages as well (C# for example).

Thanks in advance,

Roy

PS. building Windows executables didn't succeed with Visual Studio nor 
with Mingw on Debian. Has something changed?
