Unable to create shared libraries with MinGW

[Roel Schroeven]

Hi,

I'm trying to build GMP for use with Visual Studio. I'm using MinGW to 
do that. Since static libraries created by MinGW are not compatible with 
Visual Studio (AFAIK), I'm trying to create shared libraries. I used

$ ./configure --enable-shared --disable-static --enable-fat
$ make

But at the end of the process, that results with errors (undefined 
references):

gcc -shared .libs/libgmp.la-2.o   -m32 -mtune=pentium4 -march=pentium4 
-mno-cygwin -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--output-def 
-Wl,.libs/libgmp-3.dll.def -o .libs/libgmp-3.dll 
-Wl,--image-base=0x10000000 -Wl,--out-implib,.libs/libgmp.dll.a

Any ideas what I can do to use GMP with MS Visual Studio?
