Is it possible or recommended to use a Cygwin compiled lib file or dll
in Visual studio? The problem is that although I'm doing my
development in Visual Studio, a number of the sources I intend to use
have Cygwin makefiles but no Visual studio projects.
...
You're probably more interested in the MinGW project <mingw.org>. It
uses MS's CRT, which will likely make your intended melding easier.
Thanks, but manual recommends Cygwin for compiling the library Goto BLAS
(http://www.tacc.utexas.edu/resources/software/#blas) for the Windows
XP/2000 environments. I'm a bit surprised that the build process uses
the GNU compiler to build the library (which by the way has a *.a file
extension).
Other than linking the library in a Win32 application (trial and see
method), how can I verify if the library produced is a Win32 linkable
library?
I guess what I find surprising is that gcc can be used to produce
Windows XP runnable code. Here's a typical compilation command generated
by the build process:
gcc -c -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -DWINDOWS_ABI -Wall -m32 -DF_INTERFACE_F2C
-DNEED_F2CCO NV -DMAX_CPU_NUMBER=2 -DNUM_BUFFERS=\(2*2\)
-DASMNAME=_cpotri -DASMFNAME=_cpotri _ -DNAME=cpotri_ -DCNAME=cpotri
-DFUNDERSCORE=_ -DNEEDFUNDERSCORE -DBUNDERSCORE=_ -DNEEDBUNDERSCORE

Thanks.
