I have a few LIB files that I want to link with my MFC app. I went to project properties and followed the path: Configuration Properties->Linker->Input and listed all of my .LIB files. Originally the project used DLLs, so i converted the DLLs to LIBs. So, after compiling with the LIB files statically linked, I took the executable (which wasn't any bigger in size... making me think that i did it incorrectly) and threw it on a flash drive. However, when I try to run it, it's still looking for the DLL files that I converted to LIB and tried to static link. So, can someone walk me through the process to link LIB files statically? Thanks! |

It might be cleanest if you start with a new static library project and add your existing source files to it. >So, can someone walk me through the process to link LIB files >statically? If you really do have static libraries there's nothing different, you just have to have your project link to them as you've attempted to do - it's no different to DLL libs in that respect, just the outcome should be different.
