Hm, I thought all DLLs were equivalent to UNIX shared objects. But I guess DLL means both shared object and those archives whose names always end in ``.a'' as in ``mylib.a'' to be linked against at link-time. > Dependency Walker, by default, only shows dlls that were required at > link-time (when the Emacs executable was created) although it also has a > method for running an application and watching the dlls that it opens at > runtime. > > Please note that Dependency Walker might be problematic on 64 bit > applications. What sort of problems does it have, if I may ask? I'd hate to spend hours trying to do something it doesn't do. > Process Explorer displays all running processes and the dlls that they > are using (among other information). Indeed. I discovered that yesterday. I've been studying such tools. Thank you!
