RE: [Dev-C++] Connecting to a dll

You include the .lib file in your linker settings, this allows for compile
time references to be checked etc. Your application will use the .dll file
at runtime.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Connecting to a dll



Hi-
I am investigating a library. It installs ok, and I have sorted out the
header issues, but they only provide a .lib file and a .dll file. I know
there is a .lib-to-.a converter out there, but I am unable to find it.
However, is it possible to link my program with the dll at linking time? The
only errors I get with my program are undefined symbols during linking.

Hi-
I thought the mingw compiler wanted only .a files? In any case, what is the
proper string to put in the "Extra libraries" box. I know for .a files I can
use -l<library name without .a or lib in the beginning>. What is the proper
setting? Just the full path to the .lib file?
Thanks for your help,
--Quentin
