How to bundle a static library with an import library (or two static libraries) with lib.exe?
You can use the lib.exe
tool in Visual Studio to bundle a static library with an import library, or two static libraries, into a single library file.
Here's an example of how to bundle two static libraries into a single library file:
vbnetlib /OUT:mylib.lib lib1.lib lib2.lib
In this example, mylib.lib
is the name of the library file that will be created, and lib1.lib
and lib2.lib
are the names of the two static libraries that will be bundled into the new library file.
Here's an example of how to bundle a static library with an import library:
vbnetlib /OUT:mylib.lib staticlib.lib importlib.lib
In this example, mylib.lib
is the name of the library file that will be created, staticlib.lib
is the name of the static library that will be bundled into the new library file, and importlib.lib
is the name of the import library that will be used to resolve external symbols.
When you run these commands, lib.exe
will bundle the specified libraries together into a single library file. You can then use this library file in your project by linking to it during the build process.
