qwt.lib instead of qwt.a

[uppu]

Hi Quts' & Qwuts' ()

I need some help while compiling the Qwt in MSVS 2005.

I have no problem while compiling and using the Qwt in Qt Creator with mingw. I link my application against this libqwt5.a and the qwt.dll is kept in the right place &the PATH variableis able to locate it.

As my original application uses MSVS 2005, I have to compile the Qwt in MSVS.
So now I am compiling in MSVS2005,
If I compile the qwt source code version 5.2.1, the
*libqwtd5.a &
*qwtd5.dll
are created in the qwt lib directory.

I was wondering why It is creating the qwt.a file instead of qwt.lib file. I need the .lib file because the original application is linked with Qt in that way. I mean using qt*.lib & qt*.dll.
So, I tried several ways to create the qwt.lib, but it always creates the qwt.a and a qwt.dll

Please suggest how to generate the qwt.lib instead of qwt.a

Please reply. (Wysota, Could you please?)
