Tutorial

[tbohon]

Is there any kind of a tutorial for those of us who know C but who are new to the Pelles C environment?  I'd like to see something telling me how to create .lib files, for example, and what it means to add a file to the project ... simple things, really, but confusing for those of us who are new to this great environment.

Not sure i know how to create .lib file from the front end of PellesC but you can do it using directly the program POLIB (using it in command line) included in PellesC package.
Type POLIB in a console to see all options.

A .lib can contain code or only info to build import table in a PE executable (win32 ordinary exe/dll)
Not sure i  have answered your questions sorry.

If you want to create a lib just select static library when creating a new project.

Generally the answer is no - however reading the PellesC help can help - asking questions here - practice - all these help.

There is a wizard that will help making a LIB.

Hi tbohon,

Here is an example :

Code Select Expand

polib /OUT:libraryname.lib objfile1.obj objfile2.obj etc...

Thanks for the replies. 

I guess, even with 41+ years in the computer programming/analysis business, that coming into a brand new environment is a bit confusing.  Old ways of doing things (all of which tend to meld together over time, trust me  ) have to be translated into new ways ... the general processes are, of course, the same but the way you get from point A to point B is a bit different.  I know it's not my age, of course ... so it has to be something external ... 

Anyway, I'm having a ball being reintroduced to what is probably my favorite language of all time and to the Pelles C way of doing things ... so I'll just keep reading and plugging away.

Appreciate it all!

Tom
