</div>VisualStudio is not a component of the Windows operating system, or is it?<br></blockquote><div>Visual Studio is not component of OS, it is separate product, so as WDK, WSDK, DDK etc.<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
| "(...) as a special exception, the source code distributed need not<br>
| include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or<br>
| binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on)<br>
| of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that<br>
| component itself accompanies the executable."<br></blockquote><div><span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps"><br>I</span> <span class="hps">think</span> <span class="hps">it says that you can't </span></span>include any part of "major components" with source or binary distribution of product.<br>
But we not need it, we need make .lib file _before_ making distribution, and include in distribution only that .lib, no any "major components".<br> <br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">
<br>
I'd strongly advise not to VisualStudio (or any other proprietary tools chain)<br>
with (L)GPL derived work unless your competent lawyer told you it's OK.<br></blockquote><div>Microsoft has free versions of Visual Studio - Express Editions, and licence for it allow build any applications (include open source and proprietary) without any restrictions.<br>

<br>
The .lib file really should be generated by binutils if it is useful.<br></blockquote><div>If Visual Stuido could link this lib - than <span id="result_box" class="short_text" lang="en"><span class="hps">why not?</span></span><br>
