Unable to create shared libraries with MinGW

[Chris Saunders]

I do rename the file extension from "a" to "lib" but I don't think this is
required.  I don't know for certain but I believe any library built by MinGW
is useable by Visual Studio.

You are correct about which library file you need and just in case you
didn't know you must include gmp.h.

Ah, that's good to know. I tried it without success, but I admittedly 
haven't tried very hard. From what I read on the Internet, it seemed to 
me that it wouldn't work.

Presumably I link my Visual Studio project with .libs/libgmp.a? Or do I 
need another file? Should I rename it to libgmp.lib or similar, .lib 
being the usual extension for Microsoft libraries?
