Folks,
I am having trouble linking with a normal Windows import library file when creating a DLL on Cygwin. These same import libraries worked fine when creating static Cygwin executables with older versions of Cygwin.
The error is: "error adding symbols: File in wrong format".
This is an example of the error (I have reformatted the long g++ command onto multiple lines to make it more legible):
$ make
make -C O.cygwin-x86 -f ../Makefile TOP=../../.. \
T_A=cygwin-x86 install
make[1]: Entering directory '/cygdrive/j/epics/devel/dxp/dxpApp/handelSrc/O.cygwin-x86'
g++ -o handel.dll -shared -Wl,--out-implib,handel.lib -L/cygdrive/j/epics/devel/dxp/lib/cygwin-x86

So it is complaining that the library PlxApi.lib is not in the correct format. However, this is definitely a valid Windows import library file.
Thanks,
Mark Rivers
