Re: Does 'ar' work with native MS Windows libs?

I need to break open a library I created with Visual Studio and insert some objects also compiled with Visual Studio.


Will Cygwin's ar command work for this task?

Alternatively, is there a Windows tool better suited to this?
Maybe there's even something that ships with Visual Studio, but I wouldn't expect an answer to that question here.


Thanks for indulging these newbie questions. I'm used to working with Linux and am leaning heavily on Cygwin as I start to do some Windows development.

I believe you're looking for "LIB.EXE". Check out the MSDN and other Windows development forums for details.
