Subject:	Trying to link an MSVC DLL with a Cygwin Application

Hi ,
I'm trying to link a MSVC++  created DLL with a cygwin
application. Could you please provide me any useful
link realted to this issue.
I'm trying the following commands but it doesn't seem
to work:

Trying to convert the MSVC++ created DLL to a shared
lib using the dlltool

dlltool --def test.def --dllname msvctest.dll
-llibtest.a
(test.def has the exported symbol names)

I keep this libtest.a in the /lib directory so that
there won't be any LD_LIBRARY_PATH related issues.
After this step I try 

gcc mytest.c -ltest

This gives me undefined refernce to function name ...

Is there anything that I'm missing?

Regards,
john
