Use of libs [message #157445]

I've installed Eclipse 3.1.1, C/C++ DT 3.0 and use a MinGW installation
(gcc 3.4.2).

I tried to compile, run an dedit hello world, any all went well (at
last...)
I tried to convert a stand-alone MS visual C++ project, and all went well
(at last...). External libs (winmm and wininet) were needed for that, no
problem.

I now try to convert a a MS Visual C+++ prpject, which uses a library that
is the output of another project. And is doesn't go well.
Somehow I can not tell Eclipse or gcc or ... to use this non-standard
library.

Are there any naming conventions I must follow (I already renamed xyz.lib
to libxyz.a, but it did not help)?

Which settings are necessary to let it all compile?

Hmmm....

I guess you'll have to give more details (like the compiler output in the
console) for others to give useful hints.

Cheers,

Norbert

Thanks for your reply, but please do not bother any more... Until
yesterday, I lived in a world where all libs were compatoble and
inetrchangebale. I did not know that a lib built with MS can not be used
by the gcc and vice versa. Stupid me, I guess
