Hi all,

I'm trying to port a gnu application to windows, in order to  do so I need
to link a library compiled with gcc
to my own code written on msdev.
Q: Is any one know a way to do it smooth?
It seem that ms compiler and gcc binaries do not share the same naming
method and the linking fail.
Q: Is there a way to convince them to work together?
Another idea is to make the gnu libraries a win32 DLL, and to put away the
join link, at this point I found
msdev linked applications do not load this DLL at start and I must use
dynamic DLL load [LoadLibrary()].
Q: any idea why?
now it work on a little test case I made, as long as the dll do not contain
library function call.
Q: WHY???

regards
Raz
