[Dev-C++] Libraries

[Max - V. p. <ma...@va...>]

Hi! I've been using MS VC++ for a long time now. But, I'd like to start =
making my projects using Dev-C++. I'm very surprised with the quality of =
Dev-C++. I think it's much better than many commercial development =
tools. Though, I'm having some problems concerning the libraries. It has =
some (to me)strange format of libraries, .a. How can I make those =
libraries? Is there a way to 'translate' standard VC libraries to the =
DevC? I use many extern libraries, such as CDX, GLUT, DX8, Seal Audio =
library, FMod audio library... How to use those with DevC? I always get =
VC .lib files with those libraries, and sometimes Borland .lib =
libraries, but never .a... I've seen some OpenGL examples, but since I =
use GLUT for my tutorials, I can't make them run...=20
Can anybody help?
Thanks,
