I am using Eclipse CDT with Cygwin gcc version 6.4.0 on Windows.

I have choose the shared library project and when I try to build it , the Eclipse CDT only provide me with ".dll" file and does not provide me any ".lib" file.

I wanted the Eclipse CDT to build both ".dll" and ".lib" file and I cannot find any option to enable it.

I have search for the information online and can't seem to find any link telling me how to generate ".lib" file.

Could someone please advise file what step I have to take?

Thank you very much.

I have provide the source code I use to build a shared library.


//TestMath.h

#ifndef TESTMATH_H_
#define TESTMATH_H_

namespace Library{

class TestMath {
public:
	TestMath();
	virtual ~TestMath();

	int plus(int a,int b);
};


}

#endif /* TESTMATH_H_ */


//TestMath.cpp

#include "TestMath.h"

Library::TestMath::TestMath() {
	// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub

}

Library::TestMath::~TestMath() {
	// TODO Auto-generated destructor stub
}

int Library::TestMath::plus(int a,int b){
	return a+b;
}
