As I am only just getting into cygwin, I would like to know if it is possible to build a block of unix code (just console applications) and produce a dll which can be called by windows applications. I have done this following the advice on the cygwin sites and produce the 2 files which i thought i needed these are foo.a (renamed to foo.lib below) and foo.dll. When I try to build a windows application linking to foo.a i get an error saying the lib file can not be understood. Have misunderstood the objective of the dll tool is it only to build apps on cygwin? I am using an application called matlab to build this file and get the following echo returned
