I have download the staff from spintz's website but I can install spintz because I couldn't find spintz.dll ...their contains only code which I don't know how to use it. Which is the proper way to install and use it ?...

Basically, every code is used the same way. You compile it

If you can't compile you won't get any benefits from IrrSpintz because you app will have to be recompiled against IrrSpintz. IrrSpintz is, just as Irrlicht, a developer library that you won't need if you don't develop. If you just use an app take the dll that comes with the app. You cannot change it.

Um DLL files are Windows only. Linux uses .so or .a file extensions for Libraries.

So what

The same holds for .so files, too. If you use mingw you'll also see .a files under windows, and there are also .lib files. Anyways, it's just interesting if you compile apps, otherwise use the things that others built for you.
