Hallo,
perhaps your problem with linking against msname.lib can be resolved
along the lines of the following procedure:
echo "EXPORTS" > msname.def;
nm --demangle --defined-only MSNAME.lib \
|sed -n 's/^.* T //p' >> msname.def
dlltool --dllname MSNAME.DLL --def msname.def \
--output-lib libmsname.a
If nm won't work and gives you something like:
nm: MSNAME.LIB: File format not recognized
it could be that you are working with a library from MSVC 6. Then I
would suggest to convert the lib to 5.* by
cp msname.lib /somewhere
cd /somewhere
lib /convert msname.lib
at first. Doing so will keep the v6 lib, but most probably it wouldn't
do any harm just to convert it right in the original place.
Hope this helps,
Alexander.
