Isnt the .lib the static library and the dll the shared library? And Im not
linking against the dll specifically, that is the library that g++ is
wanting to link to. My link command is

g++ -Wl,--enable-auto-import -o"MRP.exe" ./src/DB.o ./src/catlist.o
./src/inventory.o ./src/mrp_app.o ./src/mrp_frame.o
./res/resources.rc.o -lpq -L"C:\MinGW\lib" -L"C:\Program
Files\PostgreSQL\lib" -mwindows `wx-config --libs base,core,adv,xrc`

I also have no idea for certain, but I should think so. My understanding of
the whole thing is that a DLL made for windows should be linkable to any
windows application regardless of compiler/linker, if its not then what is
the point?
