[Mingw-users] Building MS-compatible object libraries

[Paul M. <pf_...@ya...>]

Is it possible to build MSVC-compatible object libraries (xxx.lib)
with mingw? I'm only interested in C, not C++, so name mangling and
other C++ issues shouldn't come into it.

A quick test seems to indicate that a mingw "libxxx.a" archive is
compatible - ie, renaming libxxx.a to xxx.lib and linking into a MSVC6
build works fine. Is that reliable, or was I just lucky?

Thanks,
Paul.
