Re: [Mingw-users] Dll Problem, The same Dll is loaded twice

[Mikael A. <mik...@ma...>]

Hi !

Are you 100% sure that the dll is loaded twice ?, as far as I know it is not
possible to load a dll with the same name twice (the name of the dll, not
the name of the file). At least not without using the nasty little .NET

If it is indeed loaded twice, then I think there must be some weird problem
causing it, but I am sorry to say that I have no idea what it might be....
