link against .lib

[schmolli at t-online dot de (T-ONLINE)]

I've got a linker-problem with a .lib that cannot be solved by the
 explanations in your faq (www.cygnus.com/mis/gnu-win32/faq.html)!

situation: there's a slpapi32.dll and slpapi32.lib for operations
	   on a label-printer. these are generated with borland c++.
	   further there's a c-program for the printer.
	   i want do change and modify its source code (the name is
	   'apitest.cpp' - look a the print-out below), re-compile and
	   re-link with 'g++'.

problem: i cannot link against slpapi32.dll or slpapi32.lib, as follows

This is the MS-DOS-Printout:

 C:\home\david\Slp>g++ -c apitest2.cpp
