Hi,

Is there a possibility to convert a library compiled for MSVCPP (*.lib)
to the DJGPP (*.a) format?

I like to check out (and use) some free available multiplatform libraries.
http://www.cs.sc.edu/~sridhar/yacl.html
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/julian.smart/wxwin/
http://www.cs.unm.edu/~wampler/v.html
...
Most of them support MS,Borland,Watcom and GNU compilers for OS/2&UNIX.
Makefiles for these platforms are available and it's no problem to compile
the library. But usually there are no makefiles for DJGPP/RSXNTDJ.

Is there a possibiliy to generate the libraries with the MS,... compiler and
use this library with djgpp?
Is there an easy way to modify the makefiles to build a native djgpp library?
What is important here?

Thanks & Bye
	Martin
