On Windows using Visual Studio 2019 / X64 cmd line this appears to work:

cl /c /Os /D WIN32 /DMD gaussian2_lib.c
link /LIBPATH:/path/to/ravi/lib libravi.lib /DLL /MACHINE:X64
/OUT:gaussian2_lib.dll gaussian2_lib.obj

CMake can be used build a simple project and dump out the commands it
uses to invoke the compiler/linker. But it tends to have lots of
options that I suspect aren't needed.
