Re: [Mingw-users] Threading: Mingw vc VC++

[Luke D. <cod...@ho...>]

The first question to ask is always: is this C or C++ code? In general, C++
code is not compatible between compilers but C mostly is. If the VC++ object
is in C++, you might try to write a C wrapper for it using VC++, then access
it from Mingw.

When you say that you were able to link a DLL, please try to explain what
you did in more detail. I don't know whether you built the DLL using Mingw
or VC++.
