That sounds like a fair bit of work, unless they are small header files? Also procedures tend to be more work than constants, objects, etc.

Without seeing them myself, it's a bit hard to guage how much work it would be. I can send you my semi-automated tool, if you wish to try to do it yourself?

Well, it's a bunch of header files, ~20 or so.

If you have a matching C header file (.h), and the .a file can be used with G++ (C++ GCC), then yes, it is possible to use it with PortablE. You'd need to (1) create a special module (.e) that matches the header file, and then (2) give PEGCC the right GCC parameter to tell it to use the .a file.

Creating the special module is quite an advanced topic. The basics are covered in chapter 20. Advanced usage - accessing native OS/language elements, but even once you are familiar with them it can still be a laborious process, which is why I created a tool to partially automate the process (the generated file still needs cleaning-up & hence you still need to understand the basics).

While I could potentially send you the tool, it might be simpler for me to take the header files & do the conversion for you (depending on complexity of the header).

Hi.

Another question.

For a project I need to use a library that I have compiled from source.
The result is a (noixemul) .a library.
How can I use that that in PortablE?
