Hello,
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.
See:
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.msvs-mingw>
<http://cygwin.com/faq/faq-nochunks.html#faq.programming.msvcrt-and-cygwin>
You're probably more interested in the MinGW project <mingw.org>. It
uses MS's CRT, which will likely make your intended melding easier.

If you're serious about Visual Studio, but don't mind bending Microsoft
rules, modify those Makefiles so as to build with VS compiler and
linker. You would likely need many of the same changes as for mingw,
and could still use cygwin make, if that's what you are considering.
