If you're using gcc you can simply link directly to the dll. I think
'-L/path/to_dll -lgmp-3' should do the trick.
If you're using a Microsoft compiler then, yes, you need to first build an
import lib, and then link to it. You can build that import lib (using Visual
Studio's 'lib' tool) with:

lib /def:libgmp-3.dll.def /out:libgmp-3.lib
