My problem is that I was using gettimeofday which I have now tracked down to libwinserve.a in .../mingw32/win32/lib, but when I build with gcc ... -Wl,-Bstatic,-lwinserve,-Bdynamic ... the linker is satisfied, but the routine isn't pulled into the executable and I get a DLL not found error for WINSERVE.DLL (which doesn't exist, as far as I can make out the routine I want is actually in the archive). I have obviously got the wrong end of the stick vis-a-vis what -Bstatic actually does, can anyone put me right? -- John Cooper (JPSC Ltd, UK) - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
