Is it possible to compile DLLs with BlitzMax?
In MinGW i found a tool called 'atodll', but i
don't know how i can use it.

I havent heard anything about it. I doubt its possible because there is no way to specify what functions to export, ect.

Its no use to me but I still think it would be cool I it were possible.

Yes it is possible.
Testwise the needed functionality is in.
But you need to write the .DEF file manually. This file flags the "exports".

There is a thread on how this actually has to be done.

You can as of the latest version. You need to use bmk with the argument "makelib" before your source. I've tried it and the produced dlls work fine in C++ etc. provided you get the calling convention right.
