Hello,

I am attempting to compile C code that contains calls to functions
defined in a library called "libdde.lib".  This library appears
to be generated w/ Borland Turbo C++.  I tried the following

gcc -o test test.o libdde.lib 

and received the following error:

libdde.lib: file not recognized:  File format not recognized.

Considering that  "libdde.lib" was bundled with a 3rd party commercial
application that I do not have source code for, do I have any options 
to use djgpp (or emx) or will I be forced to purchase a commercial pc
'C' compiler.

Thanks for any insight.
