win32 mingw, linking with a mix of static and dynamic libraries

[Wesley Leggette]

Hello,

I'm trying to link to a mix of both dll and .a files with a mingw cross 
compiler, but only linking to a dll works. gcc tells me that -lpqxx (for 
example) does not exist when only libpqxx.a is in the lib path.

Is such a mix possible? If so, is there a specific method for getting 
this to work?

Also, it's my understanding that libfoo.dll.a is for most packages the 
name of the import library. By linking to this, does my new executable 
then depend on libfoo.dll as expected?

Thanks,
