Def stands for "definition".
It's a bit like a header file, in that it lists what functions are available in the dll. Can be used for building against a specific dll.
For GCC (MinGW) you need to convert .def files into .a with a command line tool, which are used for the same purpose - defininng what is available in a dll.
