Linking to GSL from visual studio

Bezi (24)
I have installed GSL-1.14 from:
http://wiki.rglab.org/index.php?title=Public:Installation_of_GSL_from_Windows_binary

But I have problem in linking to it. Basically what I have got is a gsl-1.14 directory which includes following folders and files:

bin

libgsl-0.dll, libgslcblas-0.dll

lib

libgsl.a, libgsl.dll.a, libgsl.la
libgslcblas.a, libgslcblas.dll.a, libgslcblas.la

include

of course the include directory includes all the header files.

The problem is that I do not find any .lib file and I do not know what .a, .dll.a, .la files are. From an older installation of GSL I could get .lib files and could correctly link to them but with above files I do not know how I should work.

I am using Visual studio 2010.

Thanks for your help

Rename the *.dll.a to *.lib. You can safely delete the *.la files.

The code compiles and runs but crashes with the following message:

Run-Time Check Failure #0 - The value of ESP was not properly saved across a function call. This is usually a result of calling a function declared with one calling convention with a function pointer declared with a different calling convention.

Did you do something stupid like improperly casting function pointers? If not, then I can't help you. You might want to ask what's wrong in a forum dedicated to the library.

I am sure the error has something to do with linking,
anyway this is my code that crashes

I don't see anything obviously wrong with the code.

I am sure the error has something to do with linking
Why?
