Borland C++ 5.5 Compiler
Is it possible to link a dll-module to a program with that compiler? I was trying to link a small database-program with the dll containing the sqlite-database, but without success. Borland always says something about "unresolved externals" in this sqlite-dll. I read some documentation about this Borland compiler and they mention only linking program modules to LIB-libraries, not DLL-libraries (what is the difference between LIB and DLL?).
With another compiler for instance gnu c, I have no problems to link this sqlite dll-module to my program.
I also tried to create my own Borland made LIB-module for sqlite (I have the source files), but got many compile errors.

In Windows, to link with a .dll, you need the import library (.lib). The .lib file simply contains stubs in order for the linker to find references that are defined in the .dll file.
I made it this way:
1) implib sqlite.lib sqlite.dll -->no errors, sqlite.lib was created
2) bcc32 -c -tWC -tWR prog.c -->no errors, prog.obj was created
3) ilink32 /Tpe /ap prog.obj, prog.exe, sqlite.lib -->error: unresolved external '__setargv__' referenced from root
What went wrong?
