Creating a .dll from scratch

[GFreak45]

Hey i was wondering if there was some way to create a .dll file using an application created in visual studio, not using visual studio itself.
I am attempting to create a compiler if that makes more sense, and it needs to be capable of creating dlls only, not exes or other file types, just dlls.

Is there a library which does this available?

How about that:

But one hint about creating a compiler (no offense), ha ha...! :-)

Why are you trying to write a dll-only compiler? What about Visual C++ or GCC or Intel or Clang or Comeau or Borland or any other modern compiler do you not like?

Rather than that, the idea of creating a "dll only" compiler doesn't seem to make very much sense in the first place.

It isnt really a compiler, but a map making software, where the maps are actually just altered .dll files that it references (with the .dll changed to .map or something)

the actuall application never changes, but you can add all the maps you want to it

I basically just wanted to create my own custom data type capable of containing a script the user made

No i mean the application itself will make dlls, i know how to make a dll by itself, but not an application capable of creating dlls...
