I want to know more about the .a and .i files

2.1) Using bcc, gcc, ld, fasm, and ar (and possibly ranlib, although it's not required)
2.2) It uses gcc to compile C, C++, and Objective C source, so yes.


Does this mean blitzmax turn the basic-code I write into C or c++ code and then compile it in a C compiler?

About 8 (Using blitzmax in C++)
That is great, and I meant technically. After knowing it works and how it works then talking to BRL is the next step, I assume they are to bussy to help with the techincal matter. Perhaps they do not want us to discuss that in public?

However, you would not like the way you do it.
I fear you are right. Can you list what I need to know and do?

Chris, it explains how to get from C to max, is it the same if I have .i and .a files? Are they C files?

And to clearify point 5.
If someone could use a .i and .a file I create, will that file include everything requred by that module. For example the Max2D module?
