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I suspect that the libodbc32.a file that came with mwin32 is out of
date.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.
