Re: [Dev-C++] library files and object files

[Per W. <pw...@ia...>]

A library is a collection of one or more object files.

When you supply an object file, the linker will include it in your
program.

When you supply a library file, the linker will look at the object files
inside the library and extract and include just the object files that is
needed to resolve all symbols in your program.
