I tried using g++ for the link step. Ordinarily that results in ld complaining that it can't find WinMain, which makes sense because I am trying to link two .o files which do not constitute an entire program. I tried passing the -r option to ld using g++'s -Wl,-r option, so that it would not expect to see WinMain; that resulted in an error very similar to the one that I got before when I simply used ld -r. -- gaeke@uiuc.edu -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
