<div dir="ltr">Hi Vlad,<div><br></div><div>Sorry for the delay in responding. I have looked into this a number of times and have failed each time to find an easy solution. It is possible to build working DLLs with the MinGW compiler, but these would not be compatible in general with binaries built with Visual Studio. If you wanted to switch your entire tool chain to MinGW, this would probably work. In previous searches on this topic, I've gotten the idea that there is some incantation that will modify the MinGW DLLs to work with Visual Studio binaries, but that is another path I've never followed to the end.</div><div><br></div><div>Is there are a reason that statically linked binaries will not work for you? I guess that DLLs would mainly be desirable for libraries that are accessed by many different binaries or when you want to be able to upgrade the library without upgrading the binary. On Windows, static linking seems much less problematic.</div><div><br></div><div>As an aside, I am curious what unique functionality of SYMPHONY you are using. If you're able to say, I've be interested in hearing more. You can reply to me off-line if you want.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Ted</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, May 11, 2015 at 3:20 AM, Vlad Kim <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:vladhkim@gmail.com" target="_blank">vladhkim@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">Hi,</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">I have found some similar topics about Symphony DLL build process in list archives, but still didn't come across the optimal solution.</div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">I would like to build a Symphony DLL from the provided MS Visual Studio solution file, but as this link suggests </div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><a href="https://projects.coin-or.org/MSVisualStudio" target="_blank">https://projects.coin-or.org/MSVisualStudio</a></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif"><br></div><div class="gmail_default" style="font-family:georgia,serif">this might be tricky.
