I am making a C++ project, and want to use ViennaRNA (https://www.tbi.univie.ac.at/RNA/#download) in it. I am currently working on Windows 10. I downloaded the source code, and followed the steps to setup ViennaRNA. Basically, I extracted the tar.gz, used MinGW to run ./configure and then ran make and make install from a regular terminal. I get .c, .h, .la, .lo nd .o files in the src folder, but no .lib. The documentation for ViennaRNA just says that I can compile from source code on Linux, Mac or Windows and I should get a RNAlib. There is also a RNAlib2.pc file that was generated at the root folder, but that doesn't work if I try to include it in my external library dependencies as I would do with a .lib file. Did I skip a step? Or do I have to do something extra since I am on Windows, and not Linux?
Any help or pointers are appreciated, as I am fairly new with generating and integrating compiled libraries
