Hi, I have an application, which links with a shared library (fairly common situation :)). This shared library provides the main() function. This approach works well on Linux/Solaris machines, but on Cygwin 1.7 I get the following link error:
/usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../libcygwin.a(libcmain.o):(.text+0xa9): undefined reference to `_winm...@16' I created my shared library with: g++ -c -fPIC main_in_shared.cpp g++ -shared -fPIC -o libmain_in_shared.dll.a main_in_shared.o And finally: g++ -fPIC -o app app.cpp libmain_in_shared.dll.a, which fails... Some additional info: CYGWIN_NT-6.0 EVD8D3859A6470 1.7.2(0.225/5/3) 2010-03-24 21:12 i686 Cygwin gcc version 4.3.4 20090804 (release) 1 (GCC) $ nm libmain_in_shared.dll.a | grep main 70b41270 T ___main 70b460d8 I __imp____main 70b41c40 T _cygwin_premain0 70b41c50 T _cygwin_premain1 70b41c60 T _cygwin_premain2 70b41c70 T _cygwin_premain3 70b410f0 T _main With static libraries it links fine, so I don't think that the order of the libraries (as I see the output of `g++ -v') matters here. Could somebody please explain what's going on here? I couldn't find anything really relevant after a few hours of Google-ing... Thanks in advance!
