An Unix libxyz.a is an ar(1) archive of object (.o) files with an index created by ranlib(1) (AFAIU, GNU's ar(1) creates the index without requiring the extra step). You are creating a "library" out of a single *.lib file, so ar(1) won't create an index (no .o file in sight).

Where does the .lib comes from? What environment is this?
