Unfortunately, the part of HOWTO-winelib on DLLs is still incomplete. I
submited a patch yesterday, but there were some (legitimate) objections to the
size of the files I submitted as examples. I withdrew the patch this morning.
Also, you refer to the library as .lib in the subject line.
Is this a static library? I don't know of any way to link a static library into
WineLib. Depending on how the library is to interact with your application, you
may be able to wrap the static library into a dynamic library and use WineLib.
If you don't mind large emails, send me a private email and I can give you the
examples and the most recent version of the HOWTO-winelib.
