The odd thing is it only seemed to happen when I compiled and linked in the same step, i.e. gcc -o test.exe test.c -windows failed while gcc -c -o test.o test.c gcc -o test.exe test.o -windows worked. This was with the Mingw32 system (release 0.1.3), so I'm wondering firstly whether anyone else has encountered this problem at all and secondly whether anyone has encountered it while using the normal Cygnus system instead of Mingw32. Colin. PS. In case you're wondering the option -windows is sort of a Mingw32 thing. Probably under Cygwin32 the appropriate option would be "-luser32 -lkernel32 -Wl,--subsystem,windows". -- Colin Peters - colin@bird.fu.is.saga-u.ac.jp -- Saga University Dept. of Information Science -- http://www.fu.is.saga-u.ac.jp/~colin/index.html -- http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Towers/6162/ - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
