Re: [igraph] RE: using igraph in windows

[Gábor Csárdi]

Alireza,

as far as I can remember, .lib files are static libraries on Windows,
while .dll files are dynamic libraries and you need to configure
Visual Studio to build dynamic libraries instead of static ones. But
there has been some time ago when I last used Visual Studio, so I
might be wrong.

Best,
Gabor
