Re: [Dev-C++] Linker problem

[carlos D. M. <cg...@wo...>]

I don't know any utility for do so, except for the reimp, but i didn't find
where to download it from (ehm, sorry my english), it is the only I found about
the matter.

Well, I revised the bin directory of Dev-cpp and i found that none of the
executables (cpp.exe, g++.exe, etc) can be ran as console and typed in the
commands. And there is mv.exe.
I have proved to run cmd.exe (I use windows 2000, for windows 9x run
command.exe) and typed the instruction
mv library.lib library.a
, and it worked. So it shall work for you. If not, check if the Dev Bin
directory is added in your system path.(1)[this is a call to the bottom of the
page]***I know you know that, but I have the experience always I use footnotes
the reader miss the call***
[Red means you can not read it] (Or is it asking for the mv order of cygwin?. I
don't think so. In the Dev directory is a file called mv.c and there a function
which does it, so although it was the cygwin function which is called in my
computer, in the yours it shall call the mv.exe of mingw32 of Dev and work fine)

I searched mv in the help of Dev-C++ but there are not any help about it.

I also tried to use it in the further compiler options either in the project
options dialog and in the compiler options dialog, but neither worked, it says
then that mv and the destination file don't exist.

(1) In windows 2000 set path with control panel -> system -> advanced ->
environment variables. Select path, edit it and add the directory. I don't know
well if in win9x it is done the same, but it seems you must use command.exe and
do I don't know what. (If you don't know I can send you a very small file where
it is said how to do it.)
