[Spice-devel] spice-client

[Frediano Ziglio]

lib == static Visual Studio libraries? As far as I know no, MingW uses GCC which uses different conventions for generated files (although 
it seems to use PE+ files like Visual Studio for object files). 
So get DLLs and use IMPLIB to generate import libraries (still .lib) for Visual Studio.
