Linking egcs built DLL's with MSVC++??


Hi,

a similar kind of question has been asked several times on
this list now, but there doesn't seem to be a definitive
answer yet:

How do I manage to link an egcs-(or gcc) built dll (here: libX11.dll)
to a C++-mainprog (compiled with MSVC++-5.0) with the MSVC linker ?

- Is it possible at all? If yes, does it also works for C++ objects?

- Which steps are necessary?

Apparently I first need a .lib-file (here: libX11.lib) which the
MSVC++ linker understands; but how do I generate this?
When I got the .lib file what else is to be done next?

Many thanks to any help on this matter!

ciao
  Mark Becker
