You're lucky, it's been taking 1 or more weeks for postings to show up in my mail box. Enough of my bantering, on to your problem: Your problem is that you have your filesystems mounted as text!=binary. I thought the default was to change to text=binary with b19 but obviously not. to fix: 1) cd cygnus/b19/H-i386-cygwin32/bin 2) umount / 3) mount -b c:/ / 4) add "binmode" to the list of values of the CYGWIN32 variable. 5) cd 6) rm .a 7) cd 8) ar -c /.a .o - \\||// ---o0O0--Earnie--0O0o---- -earnie_boyd AT hotmail DOT com- ------ooo0O--O0ooo------- Check out these great gnu-win32 related sites: ftp://ftp.cygnus.com/pub/gnu-win32/latest/ (ftp site) http://www.cygnus.com/pubs/gnupro/ (Comercial Page) http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/ (Project Page) http://www.cygnus.com/ml/gnu-win32 (Mail Archives) http://www.itribe.net/virtunix/winhelp-man-pages/ (HTML Man Pages) http://www.lexa.ru/sos (Sergey Okhapkin) ftp://www.lexa.ru/pub/domestic/sos/ (Sergey's ftp site) http://www.fu.is.saga-u.ac.jp/~colin/gcc.html (Colin Peters) http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/ (Mumit Khan) http://gnu-win32.paranoia.ru (Chuck Bogorad's ports) http://www.bestweb.net/~aka/gnu-win32/ (GNU-Win32 Bash Configuration) http://rcw.home.ml.org/ (Rob Warner - software ports) http://www.wenet.net/~garbanzo/gnuwin32/ (more - software portals) http://www.wenet.net/~garbanzo/gnuwin32/rpm (Redhat Package Manager) http://www.parallax.co.uk/~andyp/index_text.html (Andy Piper - ports) http://www.tiac.net/users/cgf (Christopher Faylor - package ports) ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/ (German mirror) SEARCH ENGINES WITH gnu-win32 mail archive RELATED INDICIES: http://www.progressive-comp.com/Lists/?l=gnu-win32&r=1&w=2#gnu-win32 http://www.findmail.com http://www.search.com add gnu-win32 or gnuwin32 to the search criteria.

The code compiles on unix without any problems. But I am getting errors when compiling with cygnus32B19. When using gcc with some object files I get: file not recognized: File format not recognized gcc with an archive file (I use ar to make an archive file): could not read symbols: Archive has no index; run ranlib to add one I even tried 'ranlib', no luck!
