This looks cool, but does it have any neat advantages aside from supporting another compiler? Will a MinGW compiled DLL be useable by MSVC? Our MSVC compiled DLL doesn't work too well, I think because of the STL stuff. And a Makefile built DLL would be a lot easier to maintain than one built with MSVC project files. So please tell me this DLL can be used by MSVC. :) This is determined by the format of the .lib file that should be generated in parallel with the .dll. --Chris
