VC ++ 6.0 link problem

Hello,

Working with VC++6.0 I have a:
LINK : fatal error LNK1196: invalid or corrupt import object: unknown version
using lib-msvc = glfw.lib in VC98 lib and glfwdll.dll in the same dir as the program.
Then I did try to make a static lib with contents of lib in glfw-2.6/glfw/lib = no errors
but a lib file with 200Kb contents and when using this lib = a lot of glfw functions missing
errors.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks
Randef

You need to include the files in lib\win32 as well.

VS6 is very old and we don’t test GLFW in that environment. Any reason you’re not using a more up to date version such as VS 2008?

Yes, You are right, I should…
But VC++6 is so small and I’m so used to it…
Anyway I compiled the source files… zero errors… and tested a few examples and
everything works fine.
Thanks very much for this fine project Camilla.
