build a static/dynamic library from a source code

[munteanu24d]

Hello.

I have a source code ( http://ccxvii.net/mupdf/download/ ) and i want to compile it in a dynamic or static library.

For the moment i think a static library would be easier, because i am not sure yet what functions i want to export.

My approach is to create an empty visual studio 2008 project for a static library, import the source code and compile it in order to get the library.

Unfortunately, the things didn't went so smooth ...
I started to have a link of interminable errors so, at the end, i just wanted to ask you if my approach is good, or how should i build the library, having just the source code.
Is it enough to import the code in a static library project and compile it ?

Thanks in advance,
D.M.

Meanwhile, I have decided to you use a build tool, JAM (and equivalent of make utility) ... so, wish me good luck !
