PoDoFo is a C++ library that is used to manipulate PDF files. I'm trying to use PoDoFo in one of my projects but I'm getting Linker errors because I do not have the .lib file.
I'm following the instructions on the readme.html when you download from http://podofo.sourceforge.net/download.html. I just want to use the library, however, it is not generating a .lib file to go with the .dll and I'm stumped as to why. I tried setting the PODOFO_BUILD_STATIC=TRUE and PODOFO_BUILD_SHARED=FALSE but that does not seem to do anything.
I was able to successfully build and compile it, it created the libpodofo.dll, an include directory and a lib directory which contains libpodofo.a and libpdofo.dll.a. As I understand it, the .a files are static files used for linking but do not work in Windows. I also tried to build my own .lib file by following some instructions and using the dll however that did not work either. I really want to use this library and I know I'm so close, what am I missing?
