Thanks a lot.
It almost works. When running a program that uses the lib,
I get the error message at runtine that libgmp-3.dll.dll
cannot be found.

If I rename libgmp-3.dll to libgmp-3.dll.dll it works,
but I guess I have to read how to teach the lib tool not
to double the postfix ".dll" coded in
libgmp-3.lib

best regards,

andreas

The problem is that there are two "." in
libgmp-3.dll.def
Renaming it to libgmp-3.def solves the problem.

thanks again,
