December 28, 2006 Using my .lib files in D | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|

Hello, When I try to use my .lib files in D, the linker doesn't recognize the format. (the lib files start with <arch>) Is there a way to convert my libraries to a format which the D linker recognizes? Thanks Stan |

The problem is that a lot of the .LIB files out there are for MSVC, which uses the COFF format for static libraries. DMD supports OMF. If the library is JUST an import library (ie: for using a DLL), then there are a few tools available to either try and convert the .LIB file, or generate a .DEF file as an alternative. You can get implib (to CREATE an import library from a DLL) as part of the Basic Utilities pack for DMC (http://ftp.digitalmars.com/bup.zip, linked from http://www.digitalmars.com/download/freecompiler.html). If you're looking to use something more substantial, you can try coff2omf, which is part of the extended utilities package: http://www.digitalmars.com/eup.html Hope this helps. -- Daniel |

Posted in reply to Daniel Keep | I recompiled some of my libraries to OMF, and some are import libraries, but that doesn't cover everything. Unfortunately, the extended utitilies package is not for free. |
