Ouch! Chuck's right with this one. I didn't pay attention to the link
line, just the error. Using 'ld' directly will not automatically pick
up the w32api libraries, even if they are installed. Use 'gcc' as Chuck
suggests.
>(BTW, naming your dll "foo.so.2.0.0" is a really bad idea. Windows only supports shared libs that end in ".dll".)
Yeah, it still looks to me like Matt is trying to build the GNU C library
for some reason. If it's to use with Cygwin, linking and correct naming
conventions for Windows will be the least of his problems! ;-)
