Title: .dll to .c files?
Post by: kinight on March 16, 2009, 08:24:41 PM

Hi,

I was wondering, because i am on a linux shell with anope 1.8.0  I wanted to load ircd_init and found someone who made a patched version in .dll format. 

Is there a way to turn his ircd_init.dll into a ircd_init.c file?

Please Help!

Um, a .dll is a Windows compiled module.  You need to take the .c file and compile it on your system yourself.

Perhaps i havent made my self clear

Should i talk in irc command style?

/convert ircd_init.dll ircd_init.c

what im saying is i want to convert ircd_init.dll to a .c file because the module maker didn't make the .c file for it

A .dll is made by compiling a .c file. You need the .c to make the .dll - it doesnt get decompiled

no.

however you can ask whoever gave you the dll for the .c and they have to supply you it :)

This is true. But, there is Red Gate's .NET Reflector, which is a very good code viewer, it is almost like a decompiler, however, it is not. It still shows you code that could re-create the program, even if it isn't written in that language.
