how can i create dlls for menuetos using Fasm?
is this the same as in windows (with the format "PE GUI 4.0 DLL" header) ? Any tutorials or something? |

There is an excellent proposal made by spideros to use OBJ files as MenuetOS dlls.
Code: format coff  |

Yeah, I use COFF format for DLLs in C library. I just call dlopen("some.dll",RTLD_NOW); and have DLL linked into app at runtime
Converting C library to DLL is on my TODO list. I want to make dynamic loader separate app which is called by kernel and it loads app+needed libraries. DLLs will probably contain some tiny meta info: - dll name - dll version - required DLLs |

Why have the dynamic loader as a separate app rather than in the kernel?

Because it's written in C. For example linux uses ld-linux.so for dynamic loading. Linux kernel itself only loads files and ELF interpreter to memory. If someone wants to port libmcoff (which is part of C library now) to MenuetOS kernel, he's welcome.
