Manish, On Win32, libiconv can be built either as a DLL (with associated import library) or as a "static" library. The zip file includes the results of both builds: iconv.lib is the import library for iconv.dll; iconv_a.lib is the static library. The iconv_a.lib file is what you get when you use the standard build procedure without the "DLL=1" option. The result library was renamed to iconv_a.lib to prevent the problems arising from having two different files names "iconv.lib".
At least I think that's how it happened. Am I right, Igor?

One of those is iconv-1.9.1.win32.zip which has pre-built libiconv 1.9.1 libraries. I could build libiconv except iconv_a.lib. I was just curious whether anyone here built that library because in the standard build procedure of libiconv on Win32 iconv_a.lib does not get created. Thanks for your help. -Manish _______________________________________________ xml mailing list, project page http://xmlsoft.org/ xml@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/xml
