Unfortunately you can't use the static libraries (.a) of Intel because they are generated for Linux, in spite of static libraries be cross-platform. I'm not sure about the .lib files. MS's COFF files adopt the .lib extension, but it is a little bit strange these sizes below: `libippi.a`: . original - 251 MB; . striped - 192 MB. `libippi.lib`: . original - 853 KB; . striped - no strip needed, it is already small. Huge difference, so I'm not sure if the .lib are really COFF files (even the owns MS COFF style). I tried to convert it to OMF (the .obj for testing on Delphi, because I don't know if FPC supports OMF) via the VS LIB.EXE tool and I didn't have success. The .obj was generated, but it doesn't work because it was generated with only the library "interface", so I'm suspecting the `libippi.lib` requires external libraries, something like other .libs or .dlls, because 853 KB is a very small size for the same library that requires 250 MB on Linux... you need to check about it at Intel support (or trying it in C or C++ just to check if these .lib files are really OK). Anyway, I'm on Linux and I did this test below, it worked fine (just sharing it, but I know you need it on Windows :-) ): type cchar = AnsiChar; Pcchar = PAnsiChar; cint = Int32; IppLibraryVersionPtr = ^IppLibraryVersion; IppLibraryVersion = record major: cint; minor: cint; majorBuild: cint; build: cint; targetCpu: packed array [0 .. 3] of cchar; Name: Pcchar; Version: Pcchar; BuildDate: Pcchar; end; function ippGetLibVersion: IppLibraryVersionPtr; cdecl; external; {$LINKLIB ippcore.a} {$LINKLIB ippi.a} var ver: IppLibraryVersionPtr; begin ver := ippGetLibVersion; writeln(ver^.Version); end. // result: 2017.0.2 (r54644) -- Silvio Clécio
