Description
Hello. I am a Windows user trying to compile the Opus codec in order to execute specific functions from a Python script. I've used the Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL) to build the Opus source code using the instructions given here, and I succeeded, but the final resulting libraries are .so files, which work for Linux but not Windows. I would like to ask for help in enabling the creation of DLLs instead of .so files, in order to enable building Opus on Windows and using is as a DLL. Any help is welcomed. Thanks in advance!

Research direction
Start with the Opus build instructions and the Windows build configuration, then compare the existing WSL-produced .so output with the requested DLL output. Done means documenting or enabling a reproducible Windows build that produces DLLs usable by the reported Python script.
