Hello! I have the following problem: I bought certain commercial product (client-server suite with libraries and API), and the company included libraries for BSDI and Linux. Now, I'd like to use them somehow on FBSD. Obviously , I don't have the sources. When I try to use BSDI version of the library, gcc doesn't see all of the exported names - even after repacking the library with ``ar''. With Linux version it's even worse - ``ar'' is unable even to unpack it. So, here is my question: is it possible at all to somehow "convert" these objects to the format FBSD uses? ``file'' says something like: - Linux ver - I can't unpack the libs: libxxx.a: current ar archive - BSDI ver - unpacked object files: xxxx.o: Linux/i386 object file Thanks for any sugestions.
