Hi!

I'm using the Cygnus port of DJGPP for programming under Windows. Most of  
my test programs compile and run fine, except the Winsock test:

------
#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include <mywinsock.h>

main()
{
  WORD wVersion = 0x0101;
  WSADATA wsaData;

  int err = WSAStartup(wVersion, &wsaData);
  cout << err << wsaData.szDescription;
}
-------

First, I had to edit MyWinsock.h as many variable types were used before  
they were defined (SOCKET, u_short).
I compiled using
   gcc winsock.cc -lwsock32 -lstdc++ -lcygwin -lkernel32 -luser32
I received no error or warning messages, but ld produced an error in modul  
Kernel32.
Back on the command line, I found two new files: a.out and a.out.exe (size  
0).
When I renamed a.out to a.exe it ran just fine:
0Microsoft Windows Sockets Version 1.1.

Who can explain the fault (mine or the compiler's)?

Thanks in advance,

PS: Sorry if this is off-topic and there is a special newsgroup for the  
cygnus port. I guess I've heard of one, but at least here in Germany, I  
can't receive it.
