(windres) linking VisualC++ ``coff'' objects under Linux?

[emmanuel_michon@sdesigns.com]

Hi,

as far as I understand, VisualC++ or Intel compiler for Windows
create objects file (.obj) in a kind of COFF format.
[file says 80386 COFF executable not stripped - version 25970]

There is a tool in binutils called windres that is supposed
to convert to useful linux library formats.

It returns format not recognized on these files.

Is there a way I can do this? Seems the Windows98 compilers are
pretty poor in available output formats.

My .obj are made of extremely flat and simple binary code that should not
cause troubles afterwards.
