Subject: Making *.a's from *.lib and *.dll & ODBC SDK 13 Feb 1998 13:59:22 -0800 Message-ID: <34E3341A.1ECA.cygnus.gnu-win32@asme.org> Reply-To: peckoverk AT asme DOT org Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com" Hi there, I understand how to make *.dll's but I'm still unclear on the following: 1) How do you make *.a libraries that point to system DLL's ? For example: I have just downloaded the new ODBC SDK from mirosoft and I suspect that the libodbc32.a file that came with mwin32 is out of date. I now want to re-reate this file. What should I be doing? 2) I have a library that came with some source code. I want to link this *.lib file into the re-compiled source code. What should I do to make it work with gnu-win32 tools? Example: the "QuickTest" application has a library called gtrtst32.lib with it. Do I have to convert it to a libgtrtst32.a form somhow ? Thank-you so much for your help. -- Kevin D.
