[Mingw-users] Linking a microsoft compiled library (non DLL) with mingw compiled code...

[Geoffrey S. Z. <gz...@vi...>]

I have a 3rd party API that is distributed as a .lib.  In the past we
compiled everything using Microsoft Visual Studio.  For the current releases
we moved to mingw and gcc tools.  However I am running into problems linking
code that was compiled in mingw with the .lib provided by the customer.  The
two hints that they give are that it is compiled with _STRICT defined and
they it was built with the setting Multithreaded DLL.  When we compiled on
windows this was not a problem.  I am running into either __alloca being
undefined or if I get it to compile with a MSVCRT error when I try to use
it...

Any pointers on what compile & link commands I should use to link this?

Thanks in advance,

Geoff
