I have tried to use MS based libraries together with GCC in gnu-win32 but have failed to get a running application. Is it possible to generate executables from a mix of gnu-win32 and MS libraries? If not, are there any descriptions of how to create your own lib*.a for a DLL. I have access to the necessary C header files (*.h) as well as libraries in MS library and object format. Is it possible to generate a library in gnu-win32's library format (*.a) from the MS based headers and libraries. I have so far scanned the gnu-win32 related pages and mailing list. I found a reference to windows32api-0.1.2 by Scott Christley. Though, it left out the step of how to create libraries. Any help or pointers are appreciated, /jonas - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
