In a DOS box under Windows, no problem with the library names. In
pure DOS, the names are truncated, but the linker handles that. You
just have to be sure that the names are unique when truncated to
8+3.The libraries are ".a" files and are statically linked at time of
compilation. No shared libraries are supported. When compiling lynx with
SSL support, my LIBS line in the makefile looks like:
LIBS = -lz -lcurses -lssl -lcrypto -L/djgpp/pdcur25/lib -L/djgpp/watt32/lib -lwatt
DJGPP makes COFF binaries. It tries to emulate unix in DOS, rather
than using any Windows compiling conventions.
