Re: [Dev-C++] how to add *.lib files

Hi,

This is a follow-up to my earlier e-mail. I found the file: reimp.zip
Here's an extract from its readme file.
`reimp' is a tool to convert Microsoft's new-style (short) import =
libraries to import libraries for win32 ports of GNU tools (mingw32, =
cygwin).

The URL and contact info is :
URL: http://www.acc.umu.se/~anorland/gnu-win32/

Anders Norlander <ano...@he...>

If you have trouble trying to download the file, I can e-mail you the =
zip file. It's only 30.2KB in size.

Best Regards,
Yeoh

  Hello everyone, I've been off this DevC++ list for some time. I've =
moved on to using MSVC :)

  Hi Andy,

  I've used DevC++ for some development work in the past and I had the =
same trouble as you. You can't link to a .lib . You'll need to convert =
the .lib file into a .a file which is used in DevC++. There is a utility =
program that does this. If I'm not mistaken, I have posted the link to =
the file last year. Try searching the list archive. Also, try finding =
the link to the file at the MingW website.

  Regards,
  Yeoh

    .lib (library) files in DEV are .a files. Is that where you're going =
wrong?

    To add them, use one of the top menus and in a box on one of the =
menus you can add them by typing (assuming you've pointed DEV to your =
.a-containing folder).

    I haven't used DEV in a while and is off my system so cannot check, =
but try that.



    P.S. If I'm wrong sorry, but I didn;t see any text in the email - =
just the subject.
