Fatal error LNK1107 when generating lib file from vlc dll

Question

I followed the instructions on this site http://wiki.videolan.org/GenerateLibFromDll to create a lib file from dll. The def file is created perfectly and I edited it as suggested, but when I try to create a lib file, I get error LNK1107 for an invalid or damaged file. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi

Answer 1

Try another way: call the function from the dll, getting a pointer with GetProcAddress;

Example: C ++ dll call

Update:

VLC media player loads as version 7zip;

I choose the path using GetProcAddress:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream>


int main()
{
    //VLC_PUBLIC_API const char * libvlc_get_version(void);

    //Set directory path with libvlccore.dll and libvlc.dll
    SetCurrentDirectory("C:/Program Files/VideoLAN/VLC");

    HINSTANCE hGetProcIDDLL = LoadLibrary("libvlc.dll");

    FARPROC lpfnGetProcessID = GetProcAddress(HMODULE(hGetProcIDDLL),"libvlc_get_version"); 

    if(lpfnGetProcessID == 0)
    {
        std::cout << "GetProcAddress failed";

        return 1;
    }

    typedef const char * (__stdcall * pICFUNC)(void); 

    pICFUNC MyFunction = pICFUNC(lpfnGetProcessID);

    std::cout << MyFunction() << std::endl;

    //output: 1.1.4 The Luggage

    return 0;
}
