[Mono-list] using dll in linux

[SWO]

Hi

Unfotunately there are 2 different kinds of dll in Windows. Native created
with a c or c++ compiler(delphi ...) and Assembly dlls created wit a .Net
compiler (c#,vb.net,c++/Cli ..).

As you wrote you created your dll with Visual C , so it is a native Dll. You
can try to compile, your c Source with a linux c compiler like gcc. But this
is not a Mono/.Net issue.
