Statically linking to EasyHook

Easyhook is a powerful open source library from http://easyhook.codeplex.com/.

Compile EasyHook as static library 

To link with EasyHook statically, first open the Properties popup, change the Configuration Type to "Static library (.lib)"   

Then, remove the "EASYHOOK_EXPORTS" preprocesser definition as below.   

Find DllMain, rename it to "EasyHookDllMain" 

Open easyhook.h,  line 51, find the following code.

#ifdef EASYHOOK_EXPORTS
    #define EASYHOOK_API						__declspec(dllexport) __stdcall
	#define DRIVER_SHARED_API(type, decl)		EXTERN_C type EASYHOOK_API decl
#else
    #ifndef DRIVER
        #define EASYHOOK_API					__declspec(dllimport) __stdcall
		#define DRIVER_SHARED_API(type, decl)	EXTERN_C type EASYHOOK_API decl
    #else
        #define EASYHOOK_API					__stdcall
		#define DRIVER_SHARED_API(type, decl)	typedef type EASYHOOK_API PROC_##decl; EXTERN_C type EASYHOOK_API decl
    #endif
#endif  

Replace them with

#define EASYHOOK_API                    __stdcall
#define DRIVER_SHARED_API(type, decl)   typedef type EASYHOOK_API PROC_##decl; EXTERN_C type EASYHOOK_API decl 

And now you can compile the library.  

Use the static library  

Open the project which will use the generated static library above. 

Call EasyHookDllMain in your DllMain. 

BOOL APIENTRY EasyHookDllMain( HMODULE hModule,
	DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
	LPVOID lpReserved
	);


BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HMODULE hModule,
                       DWORD  ul_reason_for_call,
                       LPVOID lpReserved
					 )
{
	EasyHookDllMain( hModule, ul_reason_for_call, lpReserved);

	switch (ul_reason_for_call)
	{
	case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
	case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
	case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
	case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
		break;
	}
	return TRUE;

Link the libraries.

#pragma comment( lib, "EasyHook32.lib") // or EasyHook64.lib, depending on your project
#pragma comment( lib, "Aux_ulib.lib")
#pragma comment( lib, "psapi.lib") 

Now try to compile your project, if you get some complication error like

 error LNK2026: module unsafe for SAFESEH image 

 You can try to switch the SAFESEH to NO as bellow
