i have posted a messages on sysbase ads follow reply -------------------------------------------------- What part doesn't work? I have never used MinGW, so I do not have specific knowledge there. But maybe if you indicate what error you are seeing, we can provide some direction. Do the tools give an error? Is the .def file invalid? Or is the resulting lib file invalid in some way? I don't think ACE32.DLL has any unusual properties. It is simply Win32 DLL with a bunch of exported functions. I would assume you have looked at the following page, but if not, maybe it will provide some help: http://oldwiki.mingw.org/index.php/CreateImportLibraries.
