I have a CodeWarrior for Palm OS .Lib file that I would like to convert to a PRC-Tools .a file. I do not have the source code to the functions in this library, nor the objects that were archived within it. I was told by another software engineer that Metrowerks has their own Librarian and that I could use this Librarian to extract the individual object files in elf-dwarf format. From there I should be able to find a way to create an archive for PRC-Tools. I searched the web for Metrowerks Librarian, Metrowerks 68k Library format, etc. and did not find anything useful. I looked through the manual that came with CodeWarrior For Palm OS and did not find any information detailing the format of the .Lib file or how to extract objects from it. I have not been able to find a FAQ that would cover such questions. I decided to inspect the file with hexdump and found that it begins with 'MWOBM68K' . I assume this is an indicator that it is a Metrowerks file.
Is there a procedure I can use with CodeWarrior for Palm OS and PRC-Tools to extract the objects from the CodeWarrior .Lib file and archive them in a .a file? Is there a way to make the PRC-Tools linker recognize CodeWarrior .Lib files?
