I can't figure this one out.
> clear;g++ -flinker-output=dyn -o slip.dll *.o
generates:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/12/../../../../x86_64-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
/usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-pc-cygwin/12/../../../../lib/libcygwin.a(libcmain.o):
in function `main':
/usr/src/debug/cygwin-3.6.1-1/winsup/cygwin/lib/libcmain.c:37:(.text.startup+0x79):
undefined reference to `WinMain'
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status
But I am developing a dll, not a windows application. The gcc.pdf manual
says:
-flinker-output=type
This option controls code generation of the link-time optimizer. By
default the
linker output is automatically determined by the linker plugin. For
debugging
the compiler and if incremental linking with a non-LTO object file
is desired,
it may be useful to control the type manually.
If type is ‘dyn’, code generation produces a shared library. In this
case ‘-fpic’
or ‘-fPIC’ is preserved, but not enabled automatically. This allows
to build
shared libraries without position-independent code on architectures
where this
is possible, i.e. on x86.
My code is not executable and nowhere links to or uses any Windows code.
It does not have a WinMain method and there is no link to libcmain.o in
the object folder (*.o does not have libcmain.o).
How do I get rid of this link error?
