Great. > 3) I have an idea of why it isn't linking against libxerces-c2_1_0.dll.

I'm working on a patch for this right now. One cannot symlink DLL's on Windows. You can hardlink or copy it, but it should not be neccessary, one can use a symlink to link the importlibs libxerces-c.a -> libxerces-c-2.1.0.a so you can use -lxerces-c at the linkline when compiling your own application. Anyway the linker should pick libxerces-c-2.1.0.dll as rt. BTW, there is some consensus that cygwin DLL's should be prefixed with 'cyg' instead of 'lib' to differentiate them from native Windows libs. > 4) instead of downloading each .tar.bz2 file from my site and extracting > them manually, you can also try using the "User URL" feature of cygwin > setup.exe and point it to http://abackus.imagineis.com and everything will > be automagically installed in the proper locations if you select > "xerces-c-devel" under the Devel tree in the setup wizard.

C++ code built with GCC3 is not binary compatible with code compiled with GCC2. > Thanks! > -Abe Thank you :-) Gerrit -- =^..^= -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
