[Dev-C++] .lib to .a

[DXFX <vin...@ed...>]

First of all happy 2002 to all!

Now back to why I mailed...

Sorry if I'm going slightly off the topic on what I posted some time before...

I have a little problem and that's a bit strange... I have a library file ending with .lib extension. And i know this file was generated by Visual C++. And .lib files cannot be used with MinGW Compiler (or can they?). I also know that MinGW uses libraries with .a extension, not .lib(s). I was wondering how I could convert the .lib files to .a files. Anyone knows how?

I think this question was posted here before... but I don't know if there was a solution arrived. So here I am asking it again, hoping someone knows how... DOES ANYBODY KNOW HOW?
