error ld: cannot find -luser32

[Armin Zeltner]

hi folks

downloaded current cygwin
starting gcc i receive the following error:
$ gcc main.c -o main.exe
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.3-5/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: 
cannot find -luser32
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status


Any suggestions?

Hello Armin,

A good place to start with questions like these is the FAQ and email list
archives.  The archives, at least, is replete with postings on this issue.
However, to answer your question directly, you need to install the w32api
package.  Rerun setup and do so.

Good luck,

RE: error ld: cannot find -luser32

[Harig, Mark A.]

It appears that you are missing the library 'libuser32.a'.  This is
included in the setup package 'w32api', which can be found in the 'Libs'
category.  To see what libraries 'gcc' is implicitly linking to your
.exe, add the '-v' compiler option switch to your command.
