Title: nasm, GoLink and static libraries?!
Post by: gammac on June 11, 2014, 06:07:31 PM

Hello,

I try to use nasm with GoLink but I can't find a way to link against static libraries. How does GoLink support static .lib files? Thanks for your answers!

best regards

Static libraries are dealt with differently. The GoAsm manual has a section "Merging: using static code libraries" which explains this. So it is actually GoAsm that supports the static .lib files and not GoLink.

you mean, there is no way to use static libraries and GoLink with other assemblers except GoAsm?

Correct. Well, at least no direct way. Indirectly, I suppose you could use something like LIB.EXE to extract any needed OBJ files and link those as usual.
