For the sake of completeness, I want to flag the following issue I have
found on Cygwin.
I have an application that doesn't build on Cygwin (gcc-4.5.3) because
undefined reference to `_mcount' etc... I have tried to reproduce it
with this simple example:
$ cat hello.c
#include <stdio.h>
int main()
{
printf("Hello World\n");
}
$ gcc -c -pg hello.c
$ gcc hello.o -o hello
hello.o:hello.c:(.text+0xa): undefined reference to `_mcount'
hello.o:hello.c:(.text+0xf): undefined reference to `__monstartup'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
If I try the same above example (and the true application) on Mac OS X
Lion with gcc-4.5.3 or on GNU Linux distributions like Fedora14 (gcc
4.5.1), Kubuntu (gcc-4.6.1), Ubuntu (i386, gcc-4.6.1), it works just fine,
$ ./hello
Hello World
If I want to build the above example on Cygwin, I need to link using the
same option '-pg',
$ gcc -pg hello.o -o hello
$ ./hello
Hello World
Yes, I can patch my true application to use '-pg' option when it needs,
but I would know if you (Dave?) have other ideas here.
Thanks,
Angelo.
