Library Manager

[Gunther]

What is a good library manager for creating own libraries? Is TLIB by Borland sufficient?

Gunther what TLib does exactly ?

It creates lib files from obj files ? ONly uses OMF or Coff too ?

It has been years since i last tried Borland.

Gunther,

I would be inclined to stick to the library manager for each object module type, I am less than trusting  in terms of cross compatibility of tools that claim to do many types. In Microsoft COFF modules the 32 bit the LINK options that the old LIB.EXE tool does works fine. Pelle's library manager also works very well.

Steve, i agree. But, it can be usefull sometimes convert the different types of object/lib files. As far i remember, Digital Mars have a tool that can make such conversion from OMF to Coff.
I plan to implement it on RosAsm on a not so near future  :icon_mrgreen:
Also, once i succed to update some functionalities in RosAsm i´ll try to allow it to import, export, convert lib/obj files. (To day, the libscanner in RosAsm can only export obj files from lib files - Coff format)
My idea is make some tools in RosAsm as standalone dlls so others can use them independent of using RosAsm or not.

Pelle's library manager Polib.exe is a good one. Agner Fog's objconv.exe can convert from OMF to COFF and COFF to OMF.

Thank you all for the answers.  :t I've now input for building libraries.

Digital Mars' librarian is lib.exe supporting only the OMF format.
