Suppose the c source file cannot be easly compiled by using a native Win32 compiler. The idea here is to generate a (cygwin) dll which users might link from within a native C compiler (Visual Studio, for example). gcc -c test.c gcc -shared test.o -o test.dll Now I'd like to be able to use the dll 'test.dll' from within Visual Studio. Is it possible? I generated a file test.lib (and of course - a test.dll file) by using the 'dlltool' tool, and then I imported the test.lib file from within MSVC. I supposed the test.lib is a simple signature of any symbol test.dll can export, and I actually successfully compiled and linked it with a client code, but execution failed into a segfault. I'm wondering if this is the right way to have a dll generated with gcc working within MSVC.
