Your English is no problem.  But please do not cross post to so many
groups.  I removed two libtool groups from replying.  It would probably
be best to remove more, but I don't know what is best here.  I know
mingw-msys is subscribers-only.

Decent Libtool support for MSVC is not done yet.  (And the previous one
has suffered from lots of bit rot, and was never any good.)

It should work to build with MSYS/GCC though without any further
changes.

Well, yes, `-link -dll' tells it to create a DLL.  Otherwise it will try
to create a program.
