Hi, i'm new to FASM. I recently used MASM too create a DLL. I want to use this DLL with my Delphi app.
There was no Problem with the MASM DLL. But I want to use MMX, SSE and such and so i switched to FASM. I think it is a lot better then MASM and it supports SIMD Extensions.
Now I wrote a tiny test-dll with FASM and if I try to load it from my Delphi app it tells me something like: "test.dll" is not a valid Windows Application. What did I do wrong? Here is the code of the DLL:

[code]
format PE GUI 4.0 DLL
entry DLLEntryPoint

include 'F:\fasm\INCLUDE\win32a.inc'

section '.code' code readable executable

proc DLLEntryPoint hinstDLL,fdwReason,lpvReserved
mov eax, TRUE
ret
endp


proc DoItFASM Number1:DWORD, Number2:DWORD
mov eax, [Number1]
mov ecx, [Number2]
add eax, ecx ;I know, it's ridiculous
ret
endp

section '.edata' export data readable
export 'test.dll', DoItFASM, 'DoItFASM'

section '.reloc' fixups data discardable
[/code]

It seems that it doesn't work because it doesn't have an import section. Add some imports, it will work then.

Thanks a lot. I'll try that.

Didn't work.
Added this:



This is what Windows tells me:
"The application or DLL "test.dll" is not a valid Windows image"

Any idea?

That's because import macro doesn't actually import any function if you don't use it somewhere. Try to add a "dummy" reference to any function, for example:


(add it somewhere in code section.

Okay, that did it!
Thank you VERY much! That was a big help for me!
Hope I can help you someday.
