building and linking with a dll


I can't successfully build and link with a .dll.  I've found 2 versions of the "5-step program" instructions to create a .dll and its' .a using ld and dlltool, but I still get "undefined reference" errors from ld.  Is there a simple example somewhere I could take a look at?  More specifically, I'd love more information on:
- the correct link lines (and dlltool lines),
- how to generate a .def file automatically (if this is possible),
- where to put an entry point function for the .dll so that -e <name>@12 will pick it up successfully (is it necessary to have an entry point at all?),
- and whether __declspec(dllexport) is still necessary to export classes and global variables (or if the .def file is sufficient).

Thanks,
Mike
