Hi there,

I understand how to make *.dll's but I'm still unclear on the following:

1) How do you make *.a libraries that point to system DLL's ?  For 
   example: I have just downloaded the new ODBC SDK from mirosoft and
   I suspect that the libodbc32.a file that came with mwin32 is out of
   date.  I now want to re-reate this file.  What should I be doing?
2) I have a library that came with some source code.  I want to link
   this *.lib file into the re-compiled source code.  What should I do
   to make it work with gnu-win32 tools?  Example: the "QuickTest"
   application has a library called gtrtst32.lib with it.  Do I have to
   convert it to a libgtrtst32.a form somhow ?

Thank-you so much for your help.
