Linker problem after importing DevCpp project

(1/2) > >>

Hi. I'm new with CB and it looks great, but I have a problem rebuilding the imported DevCpp project  :(

I'm using CB1rc2 with MinGW 3.4.2 from DevCpp. "libFOX.a" is compiled and linked with the same gcc. What's wrong?

Project   : TEST MockupScreens
Compiler  : GNU GCC Compiler (called directly)

It tells you exactly what's wrong...

I don't get this.  If "libFOX.a" is compiled and linked with the same gcc, why is
the file format not recognized later by gcc?  There might be a problem with switch
args, or backslash styles ("/" vs "\") but I would expect a different message from
gcc than "invalid file format".

If you can see what's wrong please explain. And thank you for your time...

If I have to

a) believe what ijese thinks libfox.a is, or
b) believe what gcc thinks libfox.a is

then, sorry, I have to go with (b). I trust gcc more ;)

Have you tried to see the contents of libfox.a? Its size? Have you investigated the file?
