Is it possible to convert .a linux library into win32 .dll or lib ?
Hi, I compiled a linux native library on cygwin. To do this I used the -mwin32 flag, as Tim Prince explained to me. So now it compiles nice, but I obtain a "libprelude.a" file so I wonder it is in ELF compatible format. The problem is I'd like to use this library with a native Win32 NT service (I try to make a win32 prelude-lml sensor) So I need libprelude compiled as native win32 DLL or lib file.

how-to use _WIN32 preprocessor with cygwin ?
hi, First, I'm not familliar with cygwin nand gcc, so i'm sure my question is trivial, but i didn't found how to resolve it. (sorry for the noise) I just installed cygwin on my win2k computer to try to compile a linux based lib (the libprelude) The problem is libprelude uses some glibc6 APIs included on . I tried to resolve the problem on doing my own include file and replace all includes by this code : #ifndef _WIN32 # include #else # include "myheader.h" #endif So as I readen on the cygwin FAQ, _WIN32 sould be declared ans "myheader.h" sould be used instead of but that' not the case :-( So i deduce the _WIN32 preprocessor is not known under cygwin environment. I wonder I have to declare something, somewhere, but as I said in intro, I'm not familliar with the gnu C compiller...
