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

[Quentin S. <mac...@bi...>]

Hi-
I thought the mingw compiler wanted only .a files? In any case, what is the
proper string to put in the "Extra libraries" box. I know for .a files I can
use -l<library name without .a or lib in the beginning>. What is the proper
setting? Just the full path to the .lib file?
Thanks for your help,
--Quentin
