I'm in Windows trying to use a DLL with a program. I
don't have an import library, and I can't find any
information on how to use it without one. Any
information that you may provide on this will help.

Just include the full path to the DLL on the link command line.

The linker not generating an import library indicates that the DLL module
doesn't have any exported symbols.
Is this because you aren't using __declspec__(dllimport)/__declspec__(dllexport)?
While you don't have to use an import library (static linking to the module),
I believe one needs to be generated before you can hope to use the module by
dynamically linking to it at runtime.

The DLL itself can be used in place of an import library in many cases. That's
why I suggested this. This has nothing to do with static linking.
