Hallo,

I have some functionality in use in my normal unix environment (linux,
solaris) using .  Now I have to port this to WinNT.

All things I want to transfer are in an static library.  I can make up a
test program for  win32 linking this library using the cygwin.dll. The
test program works correkt on WinNT.

Now I like to use my static library on  WinNT in an environment compiled
and linked with MS-C++.
I get trouble with the linker. There are typical some unresoved symbols
:
__impure_ptr
__ctype_
___srget
___assert
___errno
__alloca

These I think are special GNU functions which are not known to the Libc
on MS-C++.

Is the usage of a cygwin-compiled static library in the WinNT
environment totaly nonsence?
Can I configure my lib in a way that it uses only standard functions?
Can I use the cygwin.dll to comlpete my library?

Is there anybody who can give me a hint?

Thank you

Nils Rehfeld
