Hi,

I created a sound pak for IBP a few months ago. Can this static lib, created via IBP used by the AURORA linker? Basically that I just create a new .incc file for AURORA?

Not without porting the source code to Aurora.

Aurora doesn't use .incc files.  And while both linkers use COFF object file format the naming conventions and memory management are quite different between the two.  The linker would also end up giving you a lot of "unresolved external" references since IBasic Pro used a single function library (ibstd.lib) which included everything from string functions to memory management.

You could create a DLL out of the Pro code and use that in Aurora.

I think it would be faster to convert the lib over to AURORA.

Agreed.   If you get stuck on syntax let me know.
