Instsall msys on your Win32 system: http://www.mingw.org
Compile and install libhdate using this config line:
```
configure --disable-nls
```

Create a C wrapper file for the functions you need using this template:

/* Example code for libhdate with VB6
Author: Tomer Haimovich 
<tomer.ha __ gmail.com> */

#include "windows.h"
#include "hdate.h"

__declspec (dllexport)
__stdcall DWORD getHoliday
(DWORD d, DWORD m, DWORD y)
{
  hdate_struct h;
  hdate_set_gdate(&h, d, m, y);
  return hdate_get_holyday(&h, FALSE);
}

__declspec (dllexport) BOOL 
__stdcall DllMain
(HANDLE hModule, 
DWORD  ul_reason_for_call, 
LPVOID lpReserved)
{
  return TRUE;
}

Create a def file describing the dll you built using this example:
```
LIBRARY hdatedll

EXPORTS
getHoliday
```

Compile the wrapper file using this command example, check for the currect library path on your system.

g++ -shared -o hdatedll.dll hdatedll.c -Wl,-add-stdcall-alias,
    --out-implib,libhdatedll_dll.a -Lc:/msys/1.0/lib -lhdate

Find the uniqe Alias names of you functions using the Dependency Walker tool, and use in your code like this:

Private Declare Function getHoliday Lib "hdatedll.dll"  
    Alias "_Z10getHolidaymmm@12" (ByVal d As Long, 
    ByVal m As Long, ByVal y As Long) As Long
