It would be good if someone with VC++ 6.0 actually did this.
The reason: mingw/gcc eats VC++ .lib's quite nicely but VC++ does not
eat .a
The other (perhaps better) alternative would be to provide both:
.dll itself
.lib for VC++
.a for gcc
If this is done by mingw anyways, it can use the dll itself as an
import library (oh, why won't MS programmers do it as easy?). Anyone
know a way to generate .lib from mingw?
According to the mingw FAQ (
http://www.mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml#faq-msvcdll ), when mingw makes a
dll, it can make a .def file, which MS's "lib" tool can turn into a
.lib.
