Re: Using Cygwin compiled libs in Visual Studio


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 -I../.. -DARCH_X86 -DPENTIUMM -DL1_CODE_SIZE=32768 -DL1_CODE_ASSOCIATIVE=8 -DL1_CODE_LINESIZE=64 -DL1_DATA_SIZE=32768 -DL1_DATA_ASSOCIATIVE=8 -DL1_DATA_LINESIZE=64 -DL2_SIZE=1048576 -DL2_ASSOCIATIVE=8 -DL2_LINESIZE=64 -DITB_SIZE=4096 -DITB_ASSOCIATIVE=4 -DITB_ENTRIES=128 -DDTB_SIZE=4096 -DDTB_ASSOCIATIVE=4 -DDTB_ENTRIES=128 -DHAVE_CMOV -DHAVE_MMX -DHAVE_SSE -DHAVE_SSE2 -DHAVE_CFLUSH -DNUM_SHAREDCACHE=1 -DNUM_CORES=1 -DCORE_BANIAS -DCOMPLEX -UDOUBLE zpotri.c -o cpotri.o
