coff2omf works magic, thanks.
(Why not document it ?)

Now compile is going almost smooth,
but linking time comes...

In the SDL_joystick.c file there is something unusual,
a variable and a function with same name. (ANSI ?)
(gcc and VC do not complain about this)
And the DM linker is complaining about it. (See below)
If i say /NOIGNORECASE, then there is no more complaints,
but is the dll OK ?
Testing the dll thus produced with the vc5 compiled test
programs does no work, except for an OpenGL test...

How about that : OPTLINK : Warning 134: No Start Address What should I do about it?

TIA

=====================================================

Check the prototype and the implementation of the function.
If there is no prototype add one or check how it is being invoked.
The two SDL_numjoysticks and SDL_NumJoysticks are different because of the use of
capitals in one. That should not be the problem.

You have no DllMain(), which you need to generate a working DLL. -Walter
