So, how to do it? 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++. 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. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
