[Qt-interest] Re : how to set dll path

[Vincent Cai]

One more question:
I think the dll with C++ language and created by Qt has exported all the members to application.
But I have a dll which is created with pure C language and gcc compiler.
I don’t know how to access the global variables and interface in the dll.
Is there any document talking about this topic?

Thanks.

Thanks for your reply and I got the answer.

But I am a little confused that why you said that ‘The libraries are loaded before the execution start.’.
Isn’t a dll loaded only when requested?

Jeremy is right. Setting the library path in the code can't help. It is too late. The libraries are loaded before the execution start.
Under Windows, if you do not want to move your dll you have to add your dll directory to the PATH environment variable.
Please take a look at http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/ms682586%28v=vs.85%29.aspx#search_order_for_desktop_applications.

Unless you are talking about a plugin, to my knowledge no Qt code can help you here : the application will simply not run as the links to the library cannot be resolved.

You can try adding the directory which contains the DLL to the PATH environment variable though.
