Re: Regarding .lib and .dll




Just wanted to add that the question was asked in context of Microsoft Visual Studio. 

In Linux, when I used the pango libraries, I required only the .so files (which are analogous to dll files of Windows). 

Correct me, if I am wrong.

Hi all,

Why does pango require both .lib and .dll to run ?

Normally, in any applications, I use either .dll or .lib. 

From what I know, whenever I make a .dll or a .lib, the functions contained in both the files are same. The only difference is that .dll links dynamically and can be shared, whereas a .lib links statically during compilation.
