VC++ Link Error : LIBs or DLLs instead ?

[George Papaioannou <g_papaioannou@...>]

Thank you very much for your replies.
I will try to test it as soon as i go home.

What is the *.exp files and how can i use them in
conjuction with the
DLLs (there are in the dll directory in the Lua 3.2
source code)?

what is the best way ? Should i use the DLLs or the
LIB files ?and
why ?

Anyway if i try to compile the whole stuff under VC5,
which order
should i follow (compiler & linker parameters) since
the
original "makefile" doesnt work correctly under VC++.

thanx in advance
With respect
George
