You should create an import library with dlltool, something like this: echo "EXPORS" >arapi40.def # extract exports `nm arapi40.lib | grep ' T ' | sed 's/........ T _//g' >>arapi40.def' dlltool -k --def arapi40.def --dllname arapi40.dll --output-lib libarapi40.a Anders Norlander - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
