使用C中的.lib文件

Question

I am new to C/C++. I have a static library (.lib) file created using VC++. (I also have .h file for it). And I need to use this in a C program. Can you please help me doing this?

Answer 1

Can you clarify if you're trying to build an EXE or a DLL?

What you're looking for is known as static linking. This will take the .lib file and essentially embed it into your application.

You'll need to change your project settings in VC++ to include this file to be one of the files linked into the process. If you give us some more information about the Visual Studio version, we can provide a more specific answer about how to do this.

Answer 2

Since you're using VC++ for your future C program, go to the project's Configuration Properties (in the Project menu, choose Properties).

Under C/C++->General->Additional Include Directories, add the folder where you have your .h file.

Under Linker->Input->Additional Dependencies, add the name of your .lib file.

Answer 3

请注意，此类静态库通常仅适用于一个编译器（甚至通常是版本）。
