GFL with DevC++

[Luk]

It's possible to use GFL libraries with DevC++ (mingw compiler) ???? If it's , how to do this ?

You can use GFL librairies by dynamic loading. Use LoadLibrary/GetProcAdress

It is even easier. First you have to modify the header files (libgfl.h and libgfle.h), replace the folowing lines

Code: Select all

#ifdef WIN32
	#ifdef __BORLANDC__
		#pragma option -a8  /* switch to 8-bytes alignment */
	#else
		#pragma pack (push, before_push)
		#pragma pack (8)
	#endif
#else
#endif

Code: Select all

#ifdef WIN32
    #if defined (__BORLANDC__)
        #pragma option -a8  /* switch to 8-bytes alignment */
    #elif defined (__MINGW32__)
        #pragma pack (push, before_push, 8)
    #else
        #pragma pack (push, before_push)
        #pragma pack (8)
    #endif
#else
#endif

Then you have to create .a files. To do that use the reimp tool (in your dev-cpp\bin directory) on the .lib provided (ex: reimp libgfl.lib).
Then copy the .a in the dev-cpp\lib directory.
Now you can use the library as other libraries and call the functions as normal functions.
