Perhaps `mingw-users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx', (preferred), or `mingw-msys@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx' would be better fora for this discussion; (both are subscriber only lists). When using MinGW as the compiler suite, under MSYS, you simply create libraries as libSTUFF.a, then use the -Llibpath and -lSTUFF switches in the gcc command, just as you would on *nix. For a small example of how I've done this, for a MinGW support library, see http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mingw/mingw-execwrap-1.0.0.tar.gz?download If you *must* use MSVC, then you must follow M$ convention for all your Makefile commands, and would use the M$ `lib' command, to create the libraries. However, this scenario is probably less common in an MSYS build environment, where MinGW -- a Win32 port of GCC -- would be the preferred compiler suite. HTH.
