Hi
I am trying to work on a University lab exercise from home, and because my
computer doesn't have Linux I am using Cygwin. The library files I have
been given are of the ".so" format, which I can't use in Windows. Can I
convert them to ".a" files? Is there any way at all to do this?
I am currently using the following command line:
gcc -I/cygdrive/c/labs/CS2021/lab1/incl -L/cygdrive/c/labs/CS2021/lab1/lib -
lm -lmbrot mandelbrot.c -o m.exe
(where mbrot refers to the shared object file "libmbrot.so" in the ...../lib
folder)
Thanks
Paul
