Using QHTM with VC5

QHTM is written and compiled using Microsoft Visual C++ version 6.0. Because of this there is a minor issue regarding the link library shipped with QHTM. It is easy to resolve with these simple steps:

Create the following .def file


; Begin qhtm.def
;
; Module Definition file for 32 bit DLL
;
LIBRARY     QHTM.DLL

EXPORTS
QHTM_Initialise@4				@1
QHTM_PrintCreateContext@0		@2
QHTM_PrintDestroyContext@4		@3
QHTM_PrintSetText@8				@4
QHTM_PrintSetTextFile@8			@5
QHTM_PrintSetTextResource@12	@6
QHTM_PrintLayout@16				@7
QHTM_PrintRegion@16				@8
QHTM_EnableCooltips@0			@9
QHTM_PrintPage@16				@10
; end qhtm.def

Execute the following from the directory containing qhtm.dll and qhtm.def:


lib /def:qhtm.def

This will create a LIB for VC5.

Note that you may need to change the DLL name if you are using a registered version.
