For making the .def files, I used:

     C:\MinGW64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin\gendef.exe

MinGW didn't contain gendef.exe!

For making the .a files, I used:

     C:\MinGW64\bin\dlltool.exe

for the 64-bit builds and:

     C:\MinGW\bin\dlltool.exe

for the 32-bit builds.

They all worked.

When I tried:

     C:\MinGW64\bin\dlltool.exe

or:

     C:\MinGW64\x86_64-w64-mingw32\bin\dlltool.exe

for the 32-bit builds, they wouldn't link.
