does anyone know what version of SPICE toolkit was used in creation of the cspice.lib in the
C:\Celestia-Source-Code\celestia-1.6.1\windows\lib\x86 directory ?

Since the library seems to have been built on 15 Oct 2007, it's probably v61, which has a release date of December 2006. See https://naif.jpl.nasa.gov/pub/naif/toolkit//C/PC_ ... sualC_32bit/packages/whats.new

thanks

when you do your programming using your cspice.lib do you use visual studio?
if so what version? if not what do you use?

oddly in my case, using visual studio 2012, i can link to your cspice.lib for programming SPICE but any newer SPICE toolkits made capice.lib that I link to dont work giving me linker errors.

you are using the current and 64 bit version ?
for windows

from the README

This package has been pre-compiled on a PC with Intel Xeon CPU running
Windows 7 Professional SP1 using Microsoft Visual Studio 15.0 C compiler
in 64-bit mode. The version of IDL installed on this worstation was 8.1.

15.0 is the 2017 version of VS
