A quick example:
First the source of the .dll, put it into dmcdll.c:

#include <windows.h>
#include "dmcdll.h"
BOOL APIENTRY DllMain(HANDLE hModule, DWORD  ul_reason_for_call, LPVOID lpReserved)
{
   switch (ul_reason_for_call)
   {
   case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
   case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
   case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
   case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
      break;
   }
   return TRUE;
}
__declspec( dllexport ) int DoSomething(int a, int b)
{
   return a*b*2;
}

Then a headerfile called dmcdll.h:
__declspec( dllexport ) BOOL APIENTRY DllMain( HANDLE hModule, DWORD ul_reason_for_call, LPVOID lpReserved);

__declspec( dllexport ) int DoSomething(int a, int b);

And a small test program called dmctest.c:

#include <stdio.h>
#include <windows.h>
#include "dmcdll.h"

int main()
{
   printf("Result: %d\n", DoSomething(12, 32));
   return 0;
}

Now we can build the dll with this command:
dmc -mn -WD dmcdll.c kernel32.lib

The we create a .lib from the .dll:
implib.exe /noi /system dmcdll.lib dmcdll.dll

And compile our test program, using the .lib:
dmc dmctest.c dmcdll.lib

Then you can run dmctest.exe, which with a bit of
lock should print:
Result: 768
