select a host application to "run"

Hi,

I red dozens of post on that matter and I am still lost. They talk about debuggers , C++ , etc.
Is Code Block an Ide? Are the examples not suppose to work by themselves?

I am learning C.

Here is my example I took on :  http://melem.developpez.com/langagec/objc/

CodeBlock produces dsomme.o and exemple.o

--- Code: ---------- dsomme.c----
__declspec(dllexport) int somme(int a, int b)
{
    return a + b;
}

__declspec(dllexport) int produit(int a, int b)
{
    int prod = 0;

    while (b-- > 0)
        prod += a;

    return prod;
}
---------------------------------

--------- exemple.c   --------
#include <stdio.h>

__declspec(dllimport) int somme(int a, int b);
__declspec(dllimport) int produit(int a, int b);

int main(void)
{
    int a = 2, b = 5;

    printf("%d + %d = %d\n", a, b, somme(a, b));
    printf("%d * %d = %d\n", a, b, produit(a, b));

    return 0;
}
---------------------------------------

--- End code ---

Compiler is gnu gcc 4.4.5

Mind asking a question? What is your problem?!

J4e8a16n:
:o)
You seem to be in the same state has me when I red "select a host application to "run" ".

So. What does mean select a host application to "run" ?

It means that you cannot run a DLL as an application. It's a Dynamic Link Library. Libraries are loaded by a host application. Thus you need to run the host application to load/run the library functions.

As an example: You need to run codeblocks.exe to load the plugins (*.DLL's). For the plugin DLL's of Code::Blocks there is codeblocks.exe setup as "host application to run" therefore.

J4e8a16n:
exemple.c compiled as exemple.o has main function.
If it is compiled by code block can that be the host application?
