Is there any way to find out the list of undefined symbols in windows static library compiled using VC6?
I know the nm command will list all the symbols in linux and symbols with a tag of "U" can be identified as undefined. But, how to do it Windows?

The place to look for the symbol is where you downloaded the library's source: likely the developer of that library provides either the related source directly or some clues regarding where they get it from. For what it's worth, I use scripts ( exports and externs) to check for missing symbols in the programs which I maintain.
Because it is a library, you would not notice this until you attempt to run the program which uses this symbol.

Using nm, it is possible to list the symbols defined in a binary, and the --defined-only switch ignores undefined references. find $path -name \*.a -exec bash -c "nm --defined-only {} 2>/dev/null | grep $symbol && echo {}" \;
You can use dumpbin.exe /symbols on the .lib file. That lists all the symbols used, the external ones have the "External" prefix.
