By using mydll2.i instead of mydll.i I didn't need a dll because the value (in this case i) is defined in my compiled exe file (because mydll2.d will be imported by compiling). So I can simply replace the dll but this has no effect to my exe file (because i is defined in the exe)..... - I think :-D
