FSUIPC_User.lib with wxDev-C++

[Michel Merle]

Hello

I'm using wxDev-C++ using MingW gcc, a C compiler to make standalone gauges and I had problem using FSUIPC.lib.

It seems the linker doesn't find the routines in the lib or its compilation is not compatible. I had to include the source IPCuser.c and .h to make it works. The lib is a part of the UIPC_SDK_C.zip file.

It's not really a problem but I wanted to understand.

Anyway thank you very much Pete to have included the sources and for everything you do for us.

Regards

Michel

There are different .lib file formats. For example, Microsoft uses COFF format and Borland uses the OMF format which means the .lib files aren't interchangeable.

Borland provides a tool implib that creates a Borland .lib file from a .dll. Does your compiler offer such a tool?

I don't know, I'll check that. Thank you mgh!

Anyway if it's the right explanation, I'll go on with the source as it works fine.
