Can anybody give me some links or explain me how to build an XLL from a DLL (for Excel)?
I cannot use Visual C++, so I rely on CodeBlocks + GCC.
So far I have the source code and I obtained a DLL from it. How can I get the XLL from the DLL?
This seems to be the last step, but I cannot find complete documentation about it. Even on Microsoft web site there is not much about it.
I would like to have the step-by-step explanation to do this conversion...
Thank you.
Platform: 64 bit Windows 7, 32 bit Excel 2010, CodeBlocks, MinGW/GCC
It's pretty trivial really. Simply rename your DLL. That's right, just change the extension. A XLL file is nothing else than a DLL renamed to signify it's meant to be an Excel add-in. See step 11 of this tutorial.
