Hi Julien,
thanks for your answer. Below are a few precisions:

I think you confused my question with the one asked by ADI64: I am not
stuck because of a macro, I just would like to understand how, with a
Microsoft compiler (be it 2005 or 2008) the .LIB can be produced.
Obviously it must work (at least with 2005), but I thought the two
methods for having a .LIB generated was to use export declaration in
header files (__declspec( dllexport ) etc.) or to use a .def file. I
could not see either of them in Agar files (I must have overlooked
something), so any hint about the method used would help me a lot.
Regarding the 2005 vs 2008 issue, I think too these compilers are far
from perfect, but I was hoping 2008 could be (even marginally) better
than 2005. I used it successfully to build all my pre requisites other
than Agar (including SDL, libjpeg, zlib , libpng, SDL_image, SDL_gfx,
freetype, SDL_ttf, libogg, libvorbis, SDL_mixer) so I felt like trying
it on Agar and - if needed - contributing back some patches or project
files. Currently I can generate the corresponding DLL but sadly no LIB
is produced.

On Linux I am using a vanilla gcc 4.2.3 from Ubuntu, with following
options:
-g -ggdb -O0 -fno-inline -Wall -Werror -Woverloaded-virtual -W
-Wfloat-equal -Wundef -Wendif-labels -Wshadow -Wpointer-arith
-Wcast-qual -Wcast-align -Wwrite-strings -Wconversion -Wsign-compare
-Wmissing-format-attribute -Wredundant-decls -Wno-unused-parameter
-Wno-unknown-pragmas -Wno-long-long -ansi -pedantic-errors
All the pre requisites I listed can be built with that same flags, but I
think I will have to relax them a bit, since Agar uses C99-variadic
macros (ex: #define AG_TableviewRowAdd(...)
AG_TableviewRowAddFn(__VA_ARGS__, -1) in tableview.h).
Thanks in advance for any hint ! (I guess just a few words should be
enough for the .LIB generation),
Olivier.
PS: thanks too for Agar, as the library is quite impressive indeed.
