There was a method noted here in the last couple of weeks on how to generate MS compatible .dlls using Gnu-Win32, that had been tested. You might want to take a look at the archives for the information. In terms of Borland C, it has always been able to understand the MS ..dll. So, if you generate a .dll that MSVC can understand, then Borland C can probably understand it as well. > 2) If it not possible the dynamic linkage, can I get some kind > of static library (such as .lib) out of gcc, so I can link it using > Borland C? Afaik, you can not generate .lib files easily via Gnu-Win32. As far as linking is concerned, I believe that Borland/Win32 only recognizes the MS and Borland type .lib files. You would probably be best served by generating an MS compatible .dll to use with Borland. I hope this helps. Peace, Paul G.
