link against .lib

Mon Oct 26 09:18:00 GMT 1998

I've got a linker-problem with a .lib that cannot be solved by the
 explanations in your faq (www.cygnus.com/mis/gnu-win32/faq.html)!
situation: there's a slpapi32.dll and slpapi32.lib for operations
	 on a label-printer. these are generated with borland c++.
	 further there's a c-program for the printer.
	 i want do change and modify its source code (the name is
	 'apitest.cpp' - look a the print-out below), re-compile and
	 re-link with 'g++'.
problem: i cannot link against slpapi32.dll or slpapi32.lib, as follows
This is the MS-DOS-Printout:
 C:\home\david\Slp>g++ -c apitest2.cpp 
 C:\home\david\Slp>gcc -o apitest2 apitest2.o
