i have tried to do this, but i can't seem to work with the libraries names. The proprietary libraries names don't start with "lib", so when i do -lSomething.dll, the linker cannot find the file. Also, i am willing to generate the delay-loading stubs for those, that's why i'm doing that. But your observation is very interesting and i am willing to know more about it, what linker flag do you use to link against a DLL directly when it's name doesn't start with "lib"?
