Unclear how to setup and use PeNet about penet

[secana]

Hi, here is short "how to add an import" documentation http://secana.github.io/PeNet/articles/imports.html

I'm not sure if replacing the imports will work. Some in the code, a function will call WinHelpA and the loader needs to be able to find it under the same name. As import are resolved on runtime and not statically, you cannot change that in the PE file.

Maybe a much easier approach would be to use the way that Windows searches for DLLs. If you place your own WinG32.dll with an exported stub for WinHelpA in the same directory as the binary you want to patch, it should load your DLL first and resolve the export from there instead of the real DLL in c:\windows\system32. In that case you would not need to change the original binary at all.

That's what I'm doing already ( https://github.com/aroenai/Monopoly95 ), most of the imports are just renamed functions in modern gdi32.dll since this came out in the Win 3.1 Era. I'm not concerned about changing the assembly since I'm already having to make other changes and should have space to modify it so it works with the new imports.

The original question remains though, since you linked to more or less the same article I did, how do I setup a project to use PeNet? You just have code examples without context.
