ranlib is used to export the symbols from an archive/library in posix. I
think it turns a an archive into a library?

You could get yourself cygwin and save yourself a lot of trouble. Or
possible Mingwin (havent tried this).

http://sources.redhat.com/cygwin/ - relies on cygwin DLL
http://www.mingw.org/ - compiles win32 native app.

Or http://unxutils.sourceforge.net/ has a few unix tools for win32 users as
what you get with windows for development is a bit rubbish.
