I don't think there's a tutorial out there because I'd say that converting is not possible. A lib is nothing more than an archive for object files. To get a gcc compatible lib you'd have to compile it with gcc.
But if you're really lucky, reimp might help you (only tried this with mysql libs). Search the web for reimp...

If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Where can i find a tutorial which explain how to convert a VC++6 .lib to a MinGW .a library.
Is it hard to do? (i need DirectShow)
And i have an another question:
I have found DirectX 7 and 8 for MinGW, but why there is not DirectShow library avaiable for MinGW ?
Is there a problem of compatibility?
Or is it just because no people are interrested in it?
