If you want to build NufxLib as a DLL, use "makefile.dll" instead.
If you're using zlib or libbz2, these will need to be linked into the DLL.
You will probably need to set the application that links against it to
use the "multithreaded DLL" version of the C library. (In Visual C++,
go to Project->Settings...->C/C++ tab, select Category: Code Generation,
and in the "Use run-time library" box choose "Multithreaded DLL" for
Release and "Debug Multithreaded DLL" for Debug.)
You have to use the DLL version because NufxLib allows certain calls to
pass in a malloc()ed pointer which the library then takes ownership of.
If nufxlib.dll and the application are using different heaps, the memory
is being allocated on one and freed from another, which doesn't work.
Debug versions of the DLL will halt with an assertion failure, most
likely in a NuFlush or NuClose call. Non-debug versions will silently
leak memory, or possibly corrupt other structures. You can test this
easily by running the "test-basic" application after linking it against
the DLL without specifying "DLL=1" on the makefile line.
