That's a bit strange. What error are you getting, exactly?

Yes, you just need to set the LDLIBS-foo variable to link in the
appropriate libraries (and of course you need to add the appropriate
dependencies to your makefile, so that make doesn't try to link
with a library before it has been built).
E.g. if libfoo.dll uses libbar.dll, then you need to link it with
`-lbar.stubs'.
LDLIBS-foo = -lbar.stubs
You might also need `LDFLAGS = -L.' (I forget whether `.' is in
the default search path).
