Re: [Dev-C++] dll or no dll

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

Because libaaa.a is an import library, i.e. only contains a little stub
code to fetch in the aaa.dll file where the real implementation is.

The stub code will load the required DLL, locate all needed symbols in the
DLL, and then initialize pointers to the different functions in the DLL.
