For doing so my dll needs to include a library of this simulator = program which is only supported in ".a" format. I solved this problem by cross compiling the dll from cygwi= n for the windows platform. But now there is another problem. My .dll-project needs to use external lib= raries which are only supported in windows .lib format. So theres the issue that my VC Express compiler can= not use the .a library and the cross compiler can not handle the .lib. I already read that even if both, t= he .a and .lib, are static libraries=20 there are incompatibilities because of the used compiler.=20 I would prefer to disclaim the bypass of using cygwin and a cross compiler = at all. So is there any way of converting the .a library in a native windows .lib? __________________________________________________________________________ Erweitern Sie FreeMail zu einem noch leistungsst=E4rkeren E-Mail-Postfach!= =09=09 Mehr Infos unter http://freemail.web.de/home/landingpad/?mc=3D021131 -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
