hi !!<br />
<br />
i have a c++ prog .. i'm using it on linux, but it doesn't use any linux specific features .. use g++ to compile ..it uses a library (&quot;.a&quot; + &quot;.so.1&quot; files)<br />
<br />
i now need to make the code work on windows .. so i downloaded the Mingw compiler .. it compiles fine, but gives some linker errors (&quot;function not found&quot; .. these functions are present in the library files - &quot;.a&quot; + &quot;.so.1&quot;) .. i've copied these 2 files to the lib folder of mingw .. but it doesn't seem to help ...<br />
<br />
can anyone tell me wht i'm doing wrong ?? i thought mingw was able to link against &quot;.a&quot; files .. is there any other compiler that i could use ??<br />
<br />
thanks :)<br />

porting linux code to windows (&quot;.a&quot; libraries)

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.

Software

C is a general-purpose, imperative computer programming language, supporting structured programming, lexical variable scope and recursion, while a static type system prevents many unintended operations. By design, C provides constructs that map efficiently to typical machine instructions, so it has found lasting use in applications that had formerly been coded in assembly language, including operating systems as well as various application software for computers ranging from supercomputers to embedded systems. It is distinct from C++ (which has its roots in C) and C#, and many later languages have borrowed directly or indirectly from C.
