hi again.. i'm trying to build from source some stuff (WinPT) which comes in a distribution made to be cross compiled for windows whereas i'd like to compile it on windows so i can run it through a debugger.. i've got the thing compiling under commandline (msys/mingw) but i seem to be failing miserably at "importing" it into theide..
winpt-1.2.0/Gnupg - contains stuff that goes into libgnupg.a
winpt-1.2.0/PTD - uses libgnupg.a and compiles into PTD.dll
winpt-1.2.0/Src - uses PTD.dll and compiles into WinPT.exe

so what i'm failing at:
1. i don't really understand the line of thinking behind all the nests and packages and so on, so i'm probably going about this the wrong way, what would be the "theide" way to do it?
2. i need to add a custom build step so that once i've compiled all the stuff in /Gnupg i can "$ ar cru libgnupg.a *.o ; ranlib libgnupg.a", i can't seem to find a way to make the theide actually execute my custom build step to that effect..

any hints?

thanks
j
