When I use the scripts to build on Windows some libraries appear as .dll
and some as .a

Does this matter?  What have I failed to understand?

With Microsoft Visual C++, one cannot link directly to a DLL, one must
link to an import library (mylibrary.lib).

With MinGW, however, one can indeed link directly to a DLL! But, in
addition, one may also link to an import library for that DLL (often
mylibrary.dll.a) or to a static library containing the same code
(usually libmylibrary.a).

Hope this helps,
Mike
