Open "Developer Command Prompt for VS 2019" (or run command "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Enterprise\Common7\Tools\VsDevCmd.bat").

cd <project dir>
cmake . -B vsproj
cd vsproj

Open test_dll_load.sln.

Compile.

This git repo contains some experimenting stuff, related to native .dll loading.

If you have compilation error like this:

6>C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\combaseapi.h(229,21): error C2760: syntax error: unexpected token 'identifier', expected 'type specifier'

Edit following file:

C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\8.1\Include\um\combaseapi.h:
...

extern "C++"
{
    template<typename T> _Post_equal_to_(pp) _Post_satisfies_(return == pp) void** IID_PPV_ARGS_Helper(T** pp) 
    {
#pragma prefast(suppress: 6269, "Tool issue with unused static_cast")
#if !_HAS_CXX20 //added line
        static_cast<IUnknown*>(*pp);    // make sure everyone derives from IUnknown
#endif //added line
        return reinterpret_cast<void**>(pp);
    }    
}

Add // added line to mentioned header file - it should fix compilation errors.
