You have 2 choices that I know of, use = MS=20 link32.exe, or build .def files, and from that make a libname.a type = library,=20 enclosed is a script to make .def files from .lib files, if You, or = anyone else=20 who reads this has a copy of crtdll.lib, or oldnames.lib, please run = this script=20 on it and post the resulting .def file back to the list or to Me = ;^).

to make the library itself, run

dlltool --as=3Das -k --dllname = "name".dll=20 --output-lib "name".a --def "name".def

where "name" is the name of = the dll you=20 are linking to.

#!/bin/sh
 
tlow(){
echo $1|tr A-Z a-z
}
 
if [ x"$1" =3D x"" ];then
echo "shell script to generate .def files from .LIB files
$0 filename ..."
exit 0
else
for file in $*;do
 

echo LIBRARY `basename $file .LIB` = \
