Hi.

If I have a .lib file which I think most likely compiled from Visual Studio, can I link that .lib in a project that uses g++/ld ?

I am using mingw32 compiler. I checked the manual -- doesn't seems to indicate any restrictions about this.

Is mingw32 a good choice to begin with?

I know the contents and functions within that .lib. What I am trying to do is building it in a non-visual-studio environment.

Thanks.
