[Dev-C++] converting .lib to .o

[Astar <As...@tu...>]

Hi

How I can use libraries with ".lib" ending? (for example: dxerr8.lib)
Does simple renaming "dxerr8.lib" to "dxerr8.a" help me? or i
must convert it? And how a can do it?

when i add "dxerr8.lib" (or renamed) to project from "Project settings" i have
LINK's error


sorry for my english :-)

It's said that mv .lib .a should do it. But if you see at the command 
help, it's just like renaming the file.
Other say that you shall use reimp (I believe it's in mingwutils, see 
www.mingw.org).
But it is also said that MSVC and MinGW use coff format. Borland uses 
OMF, and reimp, would be for use over borland's libs.
Anyway, you can try either way.

You will find somme usefull stuff at :

http://www15.brinkster.com/vigasotech/code.html
(in this one there is directx 9 SDK for mingw)

http://www.spacejack.org/games/mingw/mingw-dx.html

not tested at all...

and last but not least
http://www.bloodshed.net/dev/packages/

with a directx 8 devpack (I am not a game developper but I think that 
directx 8 should be powerfull enought)

regards

Michel

PS : opengl is integrated in wxwindows, SDL and many other cross 
platform libraries) perhaps it could be simplest than directx.

Hello Carlos,

I download source of reimp, but I have problems with compiling it. How
I can do it under Win+DevCpp?
I think that I can use makefile from reimp's source with 'make' from
DevCpp's 'bin' derictory. but it doesn't undestand this makefile
(errors....)
also I tried to compile it with DevC++, but there is so much errors :(

any Ideas?
