Compile c++ files into dll? VNC Server

[hagen00]

Hi there

I'm wondering whether it is possible to compile a whole bunch of c++ source files into a dll that i can then use from my VB6 app.

What i'm trying to do is use the tightVNC server from VB6. I've got the VNC server source files (a whole bunch of cpp and .h files and folders). Is it possible to compile these into a dll? How would i do that.

Many thanks

PS This has already been done for the VNC client. There is a VNC client activeX control built by Thong Nguyen, so i'm sure it can be done for the server.

PPS I also have the binaries, Winvnc.exe and VNChooks.dll. Would that help in any way? Can they be called from VB? Ideas much appreciated.

I'm going to bump this thread up a bit...Now i've been doing a bit of research and it seems that I will only be able to compile the c++ source files into a dll, if they were written in such a way to allow compilation into a dll.

I'm pretty sure the VNC server c++ files weren't. But what should be possible is to write a wrapper (prob also in c++) that interfaces with the VNC server c++ files in such a way that the wrapper (and thus the other c++ files) can be compiled into a dll.

Anyone here done something like that? Can anyone give me advice on where to start? Anyone please?
