Re: how to make a .lib from msfl70d.dll

["Rajkumar Seth" <raj at sahib dot com>]

I apologize for not being clearer.  They do ship two import libraries.  One
is for Borland C++, and one is for MS Visual C++.  They do want people to
use the dll since that is what they are selling.  And, as DJ pointed out, I
am able to use the VisualC++ library with gcc.  I just dont want to if I can
avoid it.
What I want to do is make my own, since that is meant to be doable, and the
process is outlined on the cygwin U.guide under building and using dlls.  I
am just failing miserably.
