Now I've got to the stage where I need to get BMax to link with the TrueVision3d DLL. They supply only a .lib file ( which does not work renamed, before someone suggests ) and there's precious little help or information on the site.

So generally speaking, do I have any options without the DLL creator officially releasing a GCC-compatible lib.a? I have tried creating one using pexports and dlltool, but the lib that creates doesn't work either.

So when I try to run anything, I just get a huge list of "undefine reference to blah blah" in the debuglog.
