Good question. Unfortunately, you haven't said what xxx.lib is, whether
it's a static lib or an export library, and whether it contains C-callable
functions or just C++. <http://cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html> should
give you some idea of the process of building a DLL from scratch with
Cygwin and gcc. Perhaps with this and the answers to the questions I
posed above, you'll be able to figure out how to do what you want, assuming
xxx.lib is a static lib containing C-callable functions. But then one has
to question why make a DLL out of a static library. Not that you can't do
it of course.
