Hi.

Is it possible to use a custom C++ compiled library in AmigaE/ECX?

Do you mean AmigaOS compatible libraries, for example powersdl.library or ttengine.library? If you do, then yes. No matter what language were used to compile the library.

I miss draggable screens... and do you? I know I'm in a minority unfortunately.

Well. On MorphOS it seems .a (library archives) are compatible libraries as well for linking.
Maybe my question should be how to make a .a archive to an AmigaOS library (.library).

Could be.
I'll try again.

I have a C++ project here, as a makefile. Which, when I compile it I'll get a .a file, a library archive, which I'd link against when using this library from another C/C++ source.
But how, or is it even possible at all, do I use this in an AmigaE project?

The E compiler is well known for its simplicity, there's no linker, so no link library support.
You may create an Amiga library of course...

The RKRM contains a small example for how to create libraries.
Is that different on MorphOS?

Take a look
Code:
```
> dir SDK:Examples/Library/
     skeleton (dir)
     relskeleton (dir)
     nixskeleton (dir)
     newskeleton (dir)
     cppskeleton (dir)
```
or LibMaker
