Hi, and thanks already for the help from yesterday,
Unfortunately I still have a problem compiling libraries under Windows
using cygwin with gcc.
I don't want (or do I have to ?) create .dll files but .lib libraries.
Libraries (.a, .so) which I use under Linux I integrate using -L$(PATH)
in the linking stage. Is there no counterpart for Windows, for example
using .lib files ?
Thanx!
Patrick

Okay, in the case of static libraries, cygwin is unix-like: statlibs end
in .a and are traditional archives (built using 'ar [options] name
objs....'
To link, you use -L$(PATH) -lname, where the library is called:
lib{name}.a
(actually, there is a complicated precedence order having to do with dll
import libs, static libs, and 'direct-to-dll' linking, but we won't get
into that here)
