[yo_gdg]

Hi,

I´ve 2 questions:

1- What´s the diference between /IMPLIB and /DEFAULTLIB ( link.exe )
2-How do i do a static library

One more thing, I´m actually from Argentina :clap: so my english may be wrong. :(

MSDN: Linker Options

AFAIK the MASM32 library is a static library, so you should probably take a look at MAKE.BAT in the m32lib dirctory.

yo,

The difference between an IMPORT library and a STATIC library is a STATIC library has executable code within it where an IMPORT library is basically there for the linker as the information it contains is not stored in the object module created by the assembler/compiler. You use an IMPORT library to call functions from a DLL such as the Windows API functions where you include a STATIC library if you want that code added to your executable file.
