If you are having trouble with implib then try with impdef.

The procedures to do that under versions 4.5* and 5.0* are the same.
They also share the same limitation, you cannot import classes from a
DLL created with Visual C++.

There are several ways to do it.

  implib -c DllName.LIB  DllName.DLL
  Then add the DllName.LIB to the project

  impdef DllName.DEF  DllName.DLL
  Then add DllName.DEF to the project

  impdef DllName.DEF  DllName.DLL
  implib -c DllName.LIB  DllName.DEF
  Then add the DllName.LIB to the project
