Hi pals. I think it would be convenient to include .lib files in the SDK. For now, if I want to call functions in a dll, say, VBoxDDU.dll, I have to compile OSE myself to get the .lib, and link it with my program. But preparing the environment and building virtualbox under windows is so tough. So I think including a .lib file for each dll would be great help for some developers. Or any better suggestions?

The interface of VBoxDDU.dll is subject to change without notice (and it changes pretty frequently in incompatible ways, which would lead to crashes). It's a purely internal API, so we will not make .lib files available. The proper way to talk to the VirtualBox hard disk API is to grab the source and build it yourself. The prerequisites of that are *much* lower than for the entire VirtualBox application.
