It's probably expecting that it can do something put extern int libiconv_close(); in a source file and then just link it. That doesn't necessarily work on Windows. You may have to mark the declaration with declspec(dllimport);. The function should be auto-imported automatically but maybe there is a warning showing up or something which is confusing autoconf. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
