Building application which relies on GTKmm and other library.

[Ney André de Mello Zunino <zunino inf ufsc br>]

Hello.

I have the following situation: the distributed application on which I 
am working relies on GTKmm for the client UI and on another library for 
handling the communication between the client and server sides. The 
problem is each library has its own building requirements; namely, the 
communications library builds with Visual C++ .NET 2003 while GTKmm does 
not [*]. What is the common way of dealing with such situation? I am not 
sure building object files for each library using different compiler 
tools will allow them to be linked without problems. What advice could 
you give me? I apologize if this is a basic question, but I must confess 
I don't see the "easy way" at the moment.

[*] I did read Cedric Gustin's thread about his work on producing 
MSVC-compatible libs, but since he reports that there are still some 
problems to be solved, I would rather stick to the more stable alternative.

Thank you,
