Never mind this original problem...and sorry for the trouble.
It appears that the linker could not find the file in the specified location
because the path for libraries points to /RSXNTDJ/LIB and not to the
subdirectories /ALL /MT and /ST.
I fixed the problem for this specific example with a -L option :

gcc -Lc:/djgpp/rsxntdj/lib/st -Zwin32 -Zcrtdll -Zdll dlltest.o -o
dlltest.dll
Ntbind: Building DLL Application "dlltest.dll"

However I think better solution would be to alter the specs file,
but I wouldn't dare to touch these obscure writings myself !
So, my new question : Is there a manual for the specs syntax ?
(the specs.txt is a bit too brief for me)
Or else, could someone supply a new "*link:" section (if this is the place
to add the new spec stuff of course).
Should the choice of lib-directory depend on the -Zmt option ?

This is my 3rd day with djgpp and my first with newsgroups,
so I know little and I'm assuming a lot !

Any help is appreciated !
