Changing dll name that is searched for

[KaiH-0]

I keep getting an error saying softcam.dll isn't found as I want to change the name of the dll.
I have installed the dll under a different name. It's just when I run the sender exe, it is looking for the wrong name.

Where is the piece of code to tell it to look for a different name, for example cam.dll

Thanks in advance.

Hello, Kyle.

Clarifying your situation, my understanding is that you

1. built the softcam.dll,
2. modified the DLL name,
3. installed the DLL with the modified name,
4. built the sender.exe and ran it,
5. and got the error.

Is this correct?

If so, I think, the name of DLL that sender.exe is searching comes out from the import library softcam.lib , which is built together with softcam.dll at the first step of the above steps.

To modify the name, I think you can change the Target Name property in the configurations properties when building softcam.dll.

I managed to fix it with your comment, the problem was I had changed the target name for the softcam but didn't change the softcamcore target name. After that I changed my libs from softcam.lib to my lib and it worked!
