Just want to ask if any of you guys know about (freeware or shareware) C compilers that can make Dynamically Linked Libraries (DLLs).

Hope you guys can help. Thanks!

User interfeces will be different.

Commercial compilers are for the most part alot friendlier. However, if you cannot afford the buy a compiler (or you really don't want to), don't be afraid to go with a freeware one.

They are much harder to set-up and use though.As far as functionality goes. (http://www.eatsum.com) , guess what - freeware compilers end up generating a Win32 DLL when you tell them to, just like the commercial ones.

Try these comlier lists.

There are a number of good free Windows compilers now available. They all support creation of dlls. Check out the minimalisit gnu Windows compiler suite at http://www.mingw.org I know the old FAQ includes, information about how to create a dll, since I put it there myself. You can also check out the Watcom compiler at http://www.openwatcom.org/download/download_licenses.html and the Borland free command line compiler at http://www.borland.com/products/downloads/download_cbuilder.html If you download the Borland compiler, be sure to also download the patches at http://info.borland.com/devsupport/bcppbuilder/patches/#freecompiler55

Hope that helps.
