How to create LIB from DLL

- Reply-to: Scott Fell <fell at godzilla3 dot geg dot mot dot com>
THE SETUP:
I'm new to Visual Studio (please don't hate me for using MS products), so
I could be doing something fundamentally wrong (I've done c++ on unix for
4ish years, and I just transitioned over to PC-land)...
I have cygwin1.dll, nothing else.
THE PROBLEM:
I want to link some code in VSC++ to the cygwin1.dll file, but I don't
have an improt library (cygwin1.lib) file to go with it. As I understand
it, I *MUST* have the lib to make the link work.
WHAT I'VE TRIED:
I tried doing an 'nm cygwin1.dll....' command w/sed & all that, BUT it
seemed to respond as though cygwin1.dll had been stripped.
WHAT I'M PONDERING:
SO: I am left wondering: Is there a DEF and a LIB out there for
cygwin1.dll? If not, how do I generate them myself without having to
re-compile the cygwin1 dll?
Any help would be much appreciated...
Thanks,
-Scott
