For my project I link with kernel32.lib and a few others from the MASM32 project.
Is it ok with teh license if I distribute the lib's on masm32/lib with the project rather than requiring people to
download that separately ?
James,
I cannot speak for Hutch, only for my own project. Having said that, though, I can say that there is no licensing issues involved with those libraries.

James,
Make your own. Run MAKE.BAT in the attachment. :bg

Hello,
What is the difference using link or polib to create a lib with the defined prototypes ?.
ToutEnMasm
Using link.exe calls lib.exe to do the job so using polib.exe is a more efficient process. Using polib.exe also creates smaller libraries than using lib.exe which is what link.exe would use.
Vortex knows more about this than I do.

ToutEnMasm,
Paul is right, Polink creates smaller import libraries plus it's updated regularly.
ok, so I can or I can't copy kernel32.lib ?
James,
The whole idea of posting the attachment above was so that you could distribute your own without needing anyone else to change their licence for a single exception. To expedite your use of your own version of KERNEL32.LIB which you can distribute any way you like, I will not modify the masm32 licence for exceptions. :bg
Hutch,
That response is a lot clearer thanks.
I certainly didn't want to have the license changed, not that would happen.
Rgs, James.
