I only know, .lib files are no problem if they are just import
libraries and the actual code is in a .dll. If not, the mingw linker
only understands .lib files if they are simple and written in C i
think. (Just add the .lib to further object files in dev-c++ then)
If you need more information about the difference between .a and .lib
files, and when they work with mingw, you can probably get more
information at www.mingw.org and in the mingw mailing list. I'm
subscribed there, and it seems to be a frequent topic.
I just checked the recent topics (as i normally ignore most messages),
and last week someone even posted about a htmlhelp.a.
