First, thanx for your answer...
but it says:
gcc: unrecognized option `-shared' ...maybe my version is too old - I
will look for a newer version today!

But I don't really understand the "-shared" flag - perhaps because i do
not know very much about the compiler. I have only one file (khook.c) i
want to compile to a dll... that would be my file1.o (khook.o)?!? But
what are file2.o and file2.o in this case - from where do they come
where do they go ? :-) And what parameters do I need for the dlltool
after that?

Klaus.
