RE: [Dev-C++] Connecting to a dll

[James G. <Jam...@Cl...>]

You include the .lib file in your linker settings, this allows for compile
time references to be checked etc. Your application will use the .dll file
at runtime.

Subject: [Dev-C++] Connecting to a dll



Hi-
I am investigating a library. It installs ok, and I have sorted out the
header issues, but they only provide a .lib file and a .dll file. I know
there is a .lib-to-.a converter out there, but I am unable to find it.
However, is it possible to link my program with the dll at linking time? The
only errors I get with my program are undefined symbols during linking.
