Converting .lib to .a
Author
Hey everyone,
I'm trying to get a library working, but it only came with a .lib and the a header, no source, so I can't compile it on my own. I'm working with dev C++, so the .lib wont work, which brings me to my question, does anyone know of any utilities that can convert a .lib to .a?
Thanks in advance
I think a utility called "reimp" might be what you're looking for. I learned about it from here. Reimp is part of the Mingw Utilities
dlltool will probably work for this, have never used it though.
check this, especially at the bottom of the page

I was under the impression mingw could now use .lib files as well as .a files. Was I misinformed?

Yes, before I switched to Code::Blocks and the VS2003 toolkit, I used lib files with Dev-C++'s implementation of MingW.
