Because they are *win

several opinions about what I should do. It makes me wonder how Windows' own

No, it would have said "unable to find library1.lib" if that was the

What is this "learn" thing of which you speak? Why can't this be more

Brian,
It sounds like the solution could range from something as simple as
including the ".lib" files on the gcc command line on up to complicated
stuff I've never heard of like "decorations", "toolchains", and "calling

which is:

The error I get from the above command says that the ".def" file has
