I know that Bob Lessard with Columbia River Inter-Tribal Fish Commission
has built a number of VB applications that use ADMB DLLs. I have built
several myself but it was with a much older version of ADMB and
compiled using Visual Studio 6.0. Quite frankly Bob held my hand most
of the way in terms of getting the linking correct. You may want to
contact him directly as I don't believe he is part of the ADMB list
serve. He could probably help develop some instructions for Windows users.<br>

Hi Naji,<br>
<br>
I believe the DLL compilation is broken on most platforms - but probably not all.<br>
<br>
Many years ago, Dave Fournier implemented fully working DLL compilation on all ADMB platforms (e.g. ADMB 5.0 in 2000). My understanding is that Dave did not continue to maintain this feature, because it took a lot of effort and it looked like few or no users were compiling ADMB DLLs.<br>
<br>
When I wrote the adcomp/adlink/admb scripts in 2009, I decided to provide the -d option, knowing that the feature was at least half-broken. The idea is to highlight a feature that can probably be resurrected - and of course to provide DLL compilation on the few platforms where it still works.<br>
<br>
The development team has only allocated limited efforts to examine the issue of DLL compilation, but encourages interested users to do so. Several discussions can be found on <a href="http://groups.google.com/group/admb-users/search?group=admb-users&q=dll" target="_blank">http://groups.google.com/<u></u>group/admb-users/search?group=<u></u>admb-users&q=dll</a><br>
<br>
This should probably be an ADMB FAQ entry, and the DLL chapter in the manual could be updated...<br>
<br>
DLL compilation could definitely streamline the process of interfacing ADMB with other software, and might result in creative applications beyond our imagination.<br>

Hi all<br>
<br>
I have installed ADMB 10 (64bit) and compiling it with Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0 (SDK 7.1 with .NET 4.0)<br>
<br>
Thanks to Allan Hicks, compiling the programs and building executables is perfectly running.<br>
<br>
But I do have troubles building DLL, somebody overcame this issue?<br>
<br>
Tpl2cpp -gaussdll simple<br>
<br>
Adcomp64 -d simple<br>
<br>
Those commands wen ok<br>
<br>
Adlink64 -d simple<br>
<br>
I had to interrupt this command avec several min without any answer<br>
<br>
Advices & help are highly welcome<br>
<br>
Best regards<br>
<br>
Naji<br>
