[wgcc-dev] A beginners question

[Flora L. <flo...@ya...>]

Hello all,=0A=0AMy experience in these things is not so good so please excu=
se any naivet=88m. What I would like to know is will wgcc allow me to build=
 an open source c++ project (containing Makefile, configure, configure.in f=
iles etc) intended for gcc and then link , for instance a static library th=
us built, to a MSVC++ (v8) project within VS? Presently I have attempted to=
 link gcc built static libraries to a MSVC++ project but this has failed du=
e to compiler incompatibilities (different name mangling etc between compil=
ers). To get around this problem I have seen suggested that a C code interf=
ace between my MS project and any gcc built libraries be created to handle =
any calls to the C++ code within these libraries from MS project. Before I =
commence on such a task unnecessarily, is the assumption in my question cor=
rect. My perusal from the various internet chatter (wgcc, cccl, wcc, and ge=
neral) has created much confusion for me and I have not seen an answer stat=
ed
 explicitly, for or against, to a question posed as I have done.=0A=0AAny h=
elp is greatly appreciated,=0A=0AFlora L=0A=0A=0A=0A=0A      =A8=CF=A5=CEYa=
