Re: Include DLL's within an EXE

I finally got my DLL, written in C, useable in Delphi. The code is:

function SolveBoard(Deal: TDDDeal; Target, Solutions, Mode: integer;
FTPtr: pFutureTricks): integer; stdcall; external 'DDS.dll';

I'm now wondering if it is possible to include the DLL within the final EXE file - somewhat like including a resource file within the EXE. Is that possible? Where can I read up on it, if it is?

I realize that this would defeat one of the original purposes for DLL's - namely, conserving disk space. But there are certainly benefits minimizing the number of files associated with an app.


create a resource file and add it to your project.
use this line..
ID_Name RT_RAW C:\your_project_Folder\DDS.DLL
