Hi

though I have a binary build of ghc 6.5
If you have new ghc 6.5, you can use --mk-dll with --make, in case that helps.
ghc --mk-dll -o netsim.dll ExternLib.o ExternLib_stub.o dllNet.o src1.o src1_stub.o src2.o -optl-lmatrixstack -optl-L"."
My external C library is in matrixstack.dll and it has a corresponding static link stub library matrixstack.lib in the same directory as all the sources. It has references in one of the sources (say src1.hs).
If I recall correctly, to link Ms-style import libs, you must specify them as object files (ie no -optl-lfoo, but just foo.lib) or make mingw-style import libs via .def files. But as you've not run into this yet, maybe it works for you like that.
Unfortunately I get a host of undefined references to basically all the functions in matrixstack.dll and also some undefined references of the form Parsefile.o:ghc2996_0.hc:(.text+0x130): undefined reference to `TextziParserCombinatorsziParsecziError_show_closure' Parsefile.o:ghc2996_0.hc:(.text+0x220): undefined reference to `TextziParserCombinatorsziParsecziChar_spaces_closure' Parsefile.o:ghc2996_0.hc:(.text+0x24a): undefined reference to `TextziParserCombinatorsziParsecziChar_spaces_closure' Parsefile.o:ghc2996_0.hc:(.text+0x29c): undefined reference to `TextziParserCombinatorsziParsecziChar_spaces_closure'
Add -package parsec to you ghc commandline. And similary for any other packages you used while compiling. HTH, Esa
