[Mingw-users] gcc compiler with --out-implib option does not create the import library

[Itachi U. <ita...@ya...>]

Hi everyone, 

I have installed MinGW and MSYS on my system. My goal is to create a DLL library and an import library so that my DLL can be used by tools other than the MinGW toolchain.

I already read and then tried to build a simple DLL like the DLL example at MinGW website (http://oldwiki.mingw.org/index.php/sample%20DLL). The example_dll.dll was created. I also linked it successfully to a .exe program in MinGW environment. 

Everything ok except the import library: it was not created. 
I don't know why but the command: 
g++ -shared -o example_dll.dll example_dll.o -Wl,--out-implib,libexample_dll.a
did not create any import library for me. Please show me what to do to get the import libary.

Thanks in advance!

Itachi.
