Probably what you mean, but what is written above sounds confusing to me---
I'd say the .lib he's linked to w/ the mex file has dependencies on the
distributed dll. I've not run across a .dll being called .lib or vice
versa (not to say it hasn't happened but ime it's surely not common).
Generally one is expected to distribute the dll w/ the app if that's the
way the vendor supplies it...if there isn't a full-function library
supplied, I think should be able to extract them w/ the librarian and
turn into a static lib??? (Been a long time since I've been forced to
do this and haven't done it at all on 64-bit system so this is supposition).
