Re: [Dev-C++] Simple question about using libraries

[<gen...@ya...>]

hey all,
whoever compiled those Boost libraries didn't compile
them for MinGW. i've compiled Boost regex library
before, and i got .o, .a, and dll files. using dlls
from C++ is a pain in the ass because of name
mangling. unless the functions are all wrapped in a C
function, you'll have problems using the DLL.

as an aside, i'm looking for Python MinGW builds. the
workaround i have is to study the python headers and
call functions directly from the Python DLL. so far
i've not been able to build Python with MinGW. the
only other option i have is to use Cygwin Python
libraries, which would work fine, except for the
cygwin.dll dependency.
