Record Type in Pelles Librairies (OMF or COFF or what ?)

(1/1)

Hi All:

   I'm trying to link a library (built with a Borland Compiler BCC 7.4) with a small app built with Pelles64.

   I *think* that the record type within my BCC small library is incompatible with the record type needed for Pellesc64.

   *If* that is so, how to I construct my BCC library so that it is able to be linked with my Pelles app.

Thanks,
-Mel Smith

Akko:
32-bit library for a 64-bit compiler? If it's a DLL, there is a Windows restriction too.

frankie:
PellesC use 'PECOFF' object format (that is a deviated type of standard COFF) developed by MS.
You can convert OMF libraries to PECOFF using the POLIB utility. From PellesC help:

--- Code: --- Convert an OMF import library to COFF with POLIB [4.00]

You can use POLIB to convert an import library in OMF format (Borland) to COFF (Pelles C, Microsoft). When you do, use the following syntax:
POLIB OMF-library /OUT:library

The OMF-library argument specifies the name of an import library in OMF format.
The result will be written to the file named library.

--- End code ---
Always read help please.
Of course, as Akko said, you can't link 32bits and 64bits code (but I immagine you meant 64bit compiler not generated code).

Hi melsmith,

You can also use Agner Fog's objconv tool to do the OMF to COFF convertion :
