Is there any documentation on DLLTOOL available? Not much as far as I can figure out. You can get some idea of what it does by typing "dlltool --help", which gives a brief summary. You can also look at the Cygwin readmes and FAQ for examples of dlltool in use (for adding .reloc sections to executables, and for building DLLs). >2. What's the Gnu equivalent of Borland's IMPLIB for generating an import >library from a DLL? That's a good question. I don't think there actually is one. However, Windows 95 at least you can use the Quick View option on the DLL to get a list of exports, which you can then laboriously produce your own .def file from, and then run dlltool on the .def file. There's probably a better way to do it, but I don't know it.
