I'm assuming that the format you mention here is the same as the OMF format used by Borland tools. GNU tools do not support OMF format, and until Borland changes it format to the more common and widely used PE-COFF, it shall remain that way (unless someone contributes the code needed to support OMF format of course). Even with PE-COFF, current binutils is not in general link compatible with MSVC compiled .OBJ files, but that'll hopefully change in the future. > I would be happy to be pointed in the direction of the Fine Manual, if > there is one that addresses this point, so I can RTFM. > > o, and a pointer to where I can read about producing DLL's with G77 would > be nice too. Please see my dllhelpers package for g77 DLL example. http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/#dllhelpers Regards, Mumit -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
