I made a library (.lib) with VS2005. Is there a way to convert it to a .a linux library without moving the code and setting up a project and compiling in linux?

Thanks,

David

what about the other way, can you use a .a in windows?

Nope, can't do that either. Dev-C++ and minigw (I think that is its name) both use the *.a extensions, but the libraries must be compiled on the MS-Windows machine -- you can't just copy the lib from *nix to MS-Windows or any other operating system.
