linking with windows .lib fies?

[Scott Snell]

Hi All,

I have a MSVC project I am converting with winebuild.  My project links in a
windows .lib file that is provided by a third party.  Can I link this
library file into my winelib project, and if so how? I cant seem to find any
recent discussion on this topic so if you could point me to some I would be
very grateful.

regards,

Scott.

PS sorry for the repeat - this question was embedded inside an email on a
different topic.

If you have a dll, you can link with that instead.  If not, have a look 
at objcopy... it may be able to do what you want.

You can use reimp from the mingw-utils to convert it in to a import lib
that winebuild should be able to import.

Thanks
