The DM toolchain produces and consumes OMF object files, while I suspect the SDK uses COFF. Also, the toolchain is 32-bit, not 64-bit. There's a tool called implib which can generate a .lib file that DMD/OPTLINK can use. Documentation is here: <http://www.digitalmars.com/ctg/implib.html>. You can get it by going to <http://www.digitalmars.com/>, clicking on "Download Digital Mars C compiler", accept the agreement, and then scroll down to "Basic Utilities". -- Daniel
