Hi, I have a windows static .lib that I want to use in a cygwin program. Now, since the .lib requires the microsoft c-runtime, I cant directly link it into my cygwin program. So I thought I'd make a dll out of it that is linked with the microsoft c-runtime and then link with the import lib of that dll. So I did this to try and create the dll: %gcc -mno-cygwin -shared -o mydll.dll -Wl,--export-all-symbols -Wl,--whole-archive windows_static.lib Wl,--no-whole-archive
But im getting these errors: fu000001.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `_libmsvcrt_a_iname' fu000002.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `_libmsvcrt_a_iname' fu000003.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `_libmsvcrt_a_iname' fu000004.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `_libmsvcrt_a_iname' fu000005.o(.idata$3+0xc): undefined reference to `_libmsvcrt_a_iname' fu000006.o(.idata$3+0xc): more undefined references to `_libmsvcrt_a_iname' follow nmth000000.o(.idata$4+0x0): undefined reference to `__nm___pctype' nmth000014.o(.idata$4+0x0): undefined reference to `__nm____mb_cur_max' nmth000028.o(.idata$4+0x0): undefined reference to `__nm___iob' And these warnings: Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:OLDNAMES ' unrecognized Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:LIBCMT ' unrecognized Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:OLDNAMES ' unrecognized Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:LIBCMT ' unrecognized Warning: .drectve `-defaultlib:OLDNAMES ' unrecognized . . many more of these. First of all, am I going down the right path in linking to the lib? And if so, what am I doing wrong.
