A static library im making requires the "libwsock32.a" lib. Is there a way to make it so people who use my lib do not have to manually link to "libwsock32.a"? As in, is there a way for my static lib to automatically link this so they dont have to?
EDIT: useing mingw
You can extract all the .o files from the .a, and repack them all, along with yours in another .a
But you might be breaking some copyright / redistribution laws by doing so.
Is it really a hardship just to tell people in a readme, that "you also need libwsock32.a"
If you dance barefoot on the broken glass of undefined behaviour, you've got to expect the occasional cut.
If at first you don't succeed, try writing your phone number on the exam paper.
