# How to build MSVC-compatible DLLs with g++ on Windows
Demo project that shows how to make an MSVC-compatible DLL that exposes some pure C functions with g++ on Windows.
## source files:
* mtm.h is the interface header that will accompany your DLL
* stuff.h/ccp is some other example code that goes into the DLL
* demo.cpp is a small demo program that uses the DLL
* Makefile
## files when built
* mtm.dll
* libmtm.a : import library for your DLL
* demo.exe : demo that uses your DLL, should execute the DLL function
## deployment
If you want to deploy your DLL you should also make sure to provide the MinGW runtime DLLs. For the latest 64-bit MinGW-w64 these should be at least libstdc++6.dll, libwinpthread.dll and libgcc_s_seh.dll.
## Build tested with
* MinGW-w64 g++ 4.9.2 32bit with dwarf exceptions on Windows 7, 64 bit, Powershell
* MinGW-w64 g++ 5.1.0 64bit with SEH on Windows 8.1, 64bit, Powershell
## Tested in
* a Visual C# Express project
* a Visual C++ Express project
* an MS Excel 2013 VBA macro
