[Dev-C++] File type .la

[Pascal <p.t...@ti...>]

Hello,

I would use the SDL lib,but i have found that the DEV-CPP packages are 
not sending with the file "libSDL.la"(there are with the ORIGINAL pack 
in http://cone3d.gamedev.net/cgi-bin/index.pl?page=tutorials/gfxsdl/tut1.
What is that?
Would i  link or use it?
