Hi I want to develop a windows program that reads the GUID from a MSI package with C. It was no problem to create an exe-file with gcc that runs on non-cygwin platforms (with -mno-cygwin). My problem is the following: I need several functions from the Msi.lib (included in Windows Installer SDK). I've created a libMsi.a with dlltool and moved it to /lib/w32api/ and linked my .o with -lmsi. Compiling and linking worked fine, but if i try to run the exe, it want to load a Msi.lib as a Dynamic Link Library. I've tried to create a DLL from the Msi.lib but then an error appears that the Function [EMAIL PROTECTED] could not be found.
I don't see the problem, perhaps it is the convert process from the Msi.lib to the libmsi.a? Or is it impossible to use some function from a .lib-file? Please help me, i'm desperate! :-) Thanks Mischa -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
