RE: VC++ .lib files with g++ ?


Try changing the order of the libraries to link with:

g++ myfile.cpp  dxguid.lib dsound.lib

I have noticed that this sometimes make a difference.

Also complete path names in this style
C:/Program\ Files/Oracle/PRO22/LIB/MSVC/SQLLIB18.LIB

I have found helps.

by the way if these are sound libraries,
i would be interested in knowing how you use them?
and if they work for direct sound, etc.

hope this helps.
