Speex dev - Jul 2005 - How to compile libspeex to .lib

Hi,

I am probably missing something really simple (since I don't know very much
about compiling or anything) but I am trying to compile the latest version of
Speex (1.1.10) into a .lib file. 

I have compiled it with GCC under Cygwin with -enable-fixed-point and
--enable-static, and have produced a .a file. I want to be able to use it with
eMbedded Visual C++ 4.0. I guessed that I would need to make it a lib file, so
that I could link it with evc++. Is this right? or is there another way of
doing it? If I do need to make it into a .lib file, how do I go about doing
this?

Sorry if I am trying to do something really stupid, but like I said, I really
don't know much about compiling/linking things.

Thanks

Jason

Try "mv libspeex.a speex.lib".

That will give you a valid .lib file.  However, if you compiled with 
cygwin, you'll also end up needing to link to cygwin.dll.  You can avoid 
this if you compile with "-mno-cygwin" (if you have the mingw package 
from cygwin installed).  Then, you'll only need to compile with libgcc.a.
