i have several DLL files to load into mozilla extension project, one of DLL files depend on other DLL files , but ctypes.open only can load one DLL , how can i load them together? Thank you very much for your help : )

P.S. I had tried to load the main DLL file , i hoped ti can load other DLL files Automatically , but i catch a error "can not load libaray". when i delete the code call functions in other DLL files . it can be loaded and work perfectly , so the key of problem is how to add those files together with relation.

If ctypes.open is something that is Firefox project specific, you may be better off asking in a Firefox specific forum (search their website and see if they have a developers exchange space).

It looks like a trivial thing: one DLL is loaded by CTypes.Open, and that DLL loads others. Not automatically, but either by DLL linking or during run-time LoadLibrary (only why?) and it should work. You might have done something weird. Do you have all your DLLs in one directory? If you still don't have resolution, show some code.

yeah , i had all DLLs in one directory , i didn`t find the way out , but i changed , i make them into one DLL , the main DLL link others like static-libs , after that i just needed load only one DLL file . I searched this problem , when ctypes load DLL , it just load the one you Specified , it can not load other lib automatically. it`s different with windows .
