Re: [Mingw-users] MSVC exe with MinGW dll

[Jose F. <j_r...@ya...>]

Hi,

Yes, you should be aware that the import library generated by MinGW is
not usable directly by MSVC. What you have to do is generate a .LIB. For
that matter you will need the .DEF of your DLL (check at
http://www.mingw.org/docs.shtml how to make it). Once you have it, using
the MSVC command line tools, do:

lib /def:myfile.def

to generate the import library.

Regards,
Jose Fonseca
