Subject: How to link against .lib files
To: cygwin AT cygwin DOT com

Hi, all,

I have a question about how to link against .lib files
using cygwin tools.  I read the relevant section in 
the FAQ and also searched the mailing list archive, 
but didn't get the answer.

In the FAQ,  it mentioned the linker: LINK.EXE, what
if
I have only LD from GNU binutiles package?

Could the instructions be more elaborated.  The
following is what I couldn't understand:
1) Build a C file == Edit a C file?
2) Build a Dummy LibMain: what should be in LibMain
3) What is a .def file?
4) Is it possible to use "LD" instead of "LINKER.EXE"

It'll be really appreciated for any answers or points 
of references to this question.

Best Regards,

Tianhong
