 Posted: Sun Dec 07, 2003 2:03 pm Post subject: Platform SDK update |
 |
|
I'm going to update the platforma SDK. Also I'm newbie in Borland c++ reign.
The .lib of the platform SDK are compatible with the .lib borland linker uses?
Maybe I could be wrong, but Borlands are OMF and Microsoft are COFF? Do I have to COFF2OMF'em?
I suppose yes, so I need to convert all the .LIB I'm going to use from the new SDK right?
Thanks

This question was asked so many times....
MS SDK (any 32-bit version) is NOT compatibile by default with any
Borland compiler.
You should adjust various parts of header files to make it work.
Borland does this with every new version of their C++ Builder.
Allso lib files that ship with MS SDK are made for Visual C++ and not
for Borland C++ (OMF/COFF issue), all of them must be recreated or
converted to Borland lib format.
Allso you must note that part of these lib files are import libs which
you can convert using coff2omf. Others are static libs which you can
recreate only by recompiling C or CPP source files. And how to do
this? You can find samples of this at
http://makefiles.lebeausoftware.org/ .
No support or official help from Borland on this. You are on your own.

They are not compatible.
You cannot use static libraries created by another compiler.
You can convert import libraries for DLL's which are in Microsoft's COFF
format with the coff2omf.exe tool and you can create your own import
libraries with the implib.exe tool.
