[Mingw-users] Re: Has someone got the M$ D3DX8.LIB static lib working with MinGW?

[Nils B. <Nil...@we...>]

I've tried the following:

I looked in all M$-VC60-libs for YAXPAX and have found follwoing:
LIBC.LIB

So I used "reimp LIBC.LIB" and then "ar rcs liba.a *.obj".

Now I linked with liba.a and all the undefined YAXPAX references
are away, but I get multiple definitions now:
