Alexander,
Thank you.
Years ago I looked at XDS and didn't like it.
I'll go back and take a peak.

Hello!
I am writing dll files for a customer and they would like to
have the associated .lib (import library) but BlackBox does
not specify how to generate them.
Have any of you done this?
Do you have any code to generate a .lib file?
There is a tool "xlib" in the XDS package: http://www.excelsior-usa.com/download/xds25x/xds-x86-251-enduser-win32.exe
Just use either "xlib /implib libname.lib libname.dll" or create an Import Definition File (IDF) and use "xlib /implib libname.lib libname.idf".
I'm not an expert at this, but as far as I know, libraries can link the code either statically or dynamically. XDS xlink will only produce the dynamic version, which means the application using the library will require the dll. I don't know of a way to produce a statically linkable library with either XDS or BlackBox (maybe "POW!"?).
Alternatively, you can try this: http://www.binary-soft.com/dll2lib/dll2lib.htm
That's all I know.
