As I understand, these options are possible - use link to build gcc object files against xxx.lib - make a wrapper, build the xxx.lib into xxx.dll, and use dlltool to make the necessary libxxx.a for gcc but (maybe not true any longer?) ld can't build with .obj/.lib. However I'm proposing to use a 3rd party tool that puts my compiled code into a library before linking. Can I extract all the .obj from the xxx.lib and store them into libxxx.a directly? Or can I store the gcc objects into a .lib with MS lib.exe for building with link.exe? Thanks for any enlightenment. -- Dirk Fieldhouse Logica UK Limited fieldhouse AT logica DOT com 75 Hampstead Road c=gb;a=attmail;p=logica; London NW1 2PL o=LOGICA;ou1=UK;s=fieldhouse UK +44 (171) 637 9111 Not speaking for Logica -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
