I'm trying to compile csound_main.c using (just) the bin distribution, 
in order to start the development of a new front-end.
I'll work with MSVC(6) in Windows.

I'm really spending --too much time-- in trying to recreate the 
libcsound.lib from csound32.dll.5.1.

 >> Could anybody give me a link to an already generated .lib file ?

I tried everything: read Rory Walsh tutorial, downloaded and used 
pexports, installed the whole mingw (94MB), used the distributed 
csound32.def, recreated it, etc etc, and still I get nothing from dlltool.
I do not want to rebuild the whole csound. Using just the API should be 
the correct way to start a front-end project, am I wrong ?

Why this simple .lib is not simply included in the bin distribution ?

Thanks in advance.
Andrea

Sorry Andrea, I don't use MSVC, Victor does however, perhaps he can
advise. Why not simply use MinGW?

I understood from Michael Gogin
(here: http://www.nabble.com/forum/ViewPost.jtp?post=9733601&framed=y)
that both procedure and output should be the same:
"you can use dlltool to create an import library that will work with 
MSVC even if the shared library was compiled with gcc"

>Why not simply use MinGW?

I want to integrate Csound in existing application, already developed in 
MSVC and depending from MFC.
