this computer doesn't find htmlhelp.dll, only .lib and .h


http://www.citlink.net/~messengertj/htmlhelp.htm
    * n C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\include there's a header file
htmlhelp.h. Put a copy in C:\MinGW\include.
    * In C:\Program Files\HTML Help Workshop\lib there's a library file
htmlhelp.lib. Put a copy in C:\MinGW\lib under the name libhtmlhelp.a. Renaming
to the MinGW convention is not actually necessary, but it makes the nature of
the file clearer. As found by the MinGW project staff, this file is a static
library that calls LoadLibrary/GetProcAddress to access the file
C:\WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\hhctrl.ocx, not an import library, and can be linked by ld.


gcc_gui_release/pvengine_pvengine_rc.o -lcomctl32 -lwinmm -lhtmlhelp
-Wl,--subsystem,windows -mwindows

/mingw/lib/libhtmlhelp.a: file not recognized: File format not recognized
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
MINGW3~4.EXE: *** [gcc_gui_release/pvengine.exe] Error 1

still confused
"File format not recognized"
kinda of expected that
