Pls give a code > reference or empirical evidence for this statement. I bow to thee. I haven't had my fingers deep in this for over a month. My empirical evidence was repeated attempts while working on libtool to prevent non-function .exe's. It sounds like I've got some wires crossed here, so I'll bow out at this point. What I thought happened was: the --export-all-symbols forced exporting _all_ symbols, not automatically filtered. This meant that we got _imp_ stuff from other .dlls (but as forwarded exports which would be ok) and that caused grief linking because libcygwin.a is appended to the list, meaning that linking an exe to a dll that depended on cygwin, resulted in things like __impure_ptr being resolved to the dll that depends on cygwin1.dll, not to cygwin1.dll itself. With libtool I found that after I patched ld to remove the core cygwin symbols I also had to _remove_ --export-all-symbols before it was corrected. Still, you have the source and more test results in front of you.. Rob > > My guess is there may still be a few bugs. :-) > > --Chuck > >
