1) It depends on what you want to do. A .lib is a bundle of unlinked object files. If you are talking about C code, it should work. C++ will not, and that is true for any combination of c++ compilers - the ABIs are different. 2) cegcc is designed to depend on cegcc.dll. Since you are building a static lib, you would have to add cegcc.dll to your link command in MSVC, and most important, would have to initialize cegcc.dll properly. We have another compiler that I think is better suited for your case. We have two toolchains - cegcc and mingw32ce. The later produces code that doesn't depend on any external dll - did you consider using mingw32ce instead?
