Compiling a static C library

| Can anyone help? I am trying to use Blitz to test some bespoke C modules. Previously, I use Dev-C to develop the module as a static library (mod.a). However, trying to install Dev-C on Win7 64bit has failed. Does anyone know of a suitable replacement? That is a IDE for GCC that would complile a library linkable with Blitz on a machine running Win7 64 bit? Thanks RJJd |

| How about Code::Blocks with MinGW ? Or... compile it directly into a BlitzMax module... |

If you wrote them yourself, it should work just fine in Visual C++. So long as all your methods are exported with C linkage (I'll have to check that, but it's something like )extern "C"__cdecl You should be able to link and run it just fine. There's no name mangling in Pure C, that only happens with C++ linkage, so it shouldn't matter which compiler you use. EDIT: Ok, my memory was slightly wrong. I've edited the code above. That exports with Pure C linkage and you should have no problems with that. Last edited 2011 |
