How can you build a C++ library to produce a .lib file for use in another project?
- by Codereview
I tried to use Cmake for the first time, I tried adding a library to my project (Specifically, PhysFS) but then I understood that the library had no .lib file or .a file at all, so I have to build those somehow.
I have no clue where to even start around going this, what should I do? Someone suggested I'd go to the project folder and type "Cmake ..." then "Make ..." but I was clueless as to how I'd do that.
How would I build the library headers and source files in a .lib file that I can link in C::B? I'm using Windows XP SP3
