Hi Michele,

 

I was incorrect in what I was asking for. I’m not looking for a static library. I need the lib and dll for linking and running with 64 bit windows. I’m trying to use visual studio 2019 on windows 10. I have an old library that worked with 32 bit visual studio 2003. I am getting unresolved externals.

I’m a bit confused by what I am finding online. I’m finding a lot of pages that claim to have the necessary binaries, but do not contain any .lib or .dll files. I found one with a dll file, but no lib file. Clearly, other people are finding on these pages things that I can’t find. What am I missing?

Hi,

 

I’m updating an old Windows program that uses gettext. I’m looking for a copy of the Windows 64 bit static library. Everything online, and on https://www.gnu.org/software/gettext/#navigation, says to get the binaries from https://mlocati.github.io/articles/gettext-iconv-windows.html. None of the zip files contain any actual libraries. I must be missing something basic. What are these files supposed to contain, and is there a copy of the 64 bit windows static library around somewhere.

 

Thanks

 

James

 

 

Hi James,

 

are you referring to .dll or to .lib files?
