Rowe, Jr." User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.12 (X11/20080226) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: "dev@httpd.apache.org" , list mod_perl Subject: VC 'library' builds with visual studio Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org I found this very interesting blog entry by Jim Beveridge about archiving an object library (.lib, or .a for unix-heads) on various flavors of Visual Studio 2005 and later... http://qualapps.blogspot.com/2007/12/winsxs-breaks-old-debug-libraries.html so anything we ship as a lib (which isn't a dynamic library) looks to be next to useless once we adopt a modern version of VC.
