is it possible that my mingw 3.4.5 installation is faulty? or is this provided on some other library floating around?
in case you are wondering, dlfcn.h is where stuff l
It's not in my MinGW 3.4.5 installation, so I doubt your installation is faulty. I suppose the the MinGW maintainers expect you to use the Win32 functions supporting dynamic loading (LoadLibrary(), GetProcAddress(), etc.).
LoadLibrary()
GetProcAddress()
