Hallo sengtsongpa-cygwin001,

In previous versions of the mingw backend

with Cygwin's gcc port, the frontend drivers would
append both /usr/include/lib/mingw *and*
/usr/lib/w32api to the linker's path. This happens
no
more with the latter.

Simple testcase please. What is the actual search path? What was the link command? More details, please.


Here is a compelling case on practical grounds:


1. Grab a copy of Cygwin Setup sources from CVS (the
stable source bundle idstributed with the net
installer will do equally well). You need a copy of
libgetopt++ from a parallel directory.

2. Bootstrap and configure:

bash-2.05b-$ ./configure CC="gcc -mno-cygwin" CXX="g++
-mno-cygwin" --target=mingw32 --build=mingw32

3. Watch the build belly up at the linking stage:
...

I wonder if you have perhaps installed the 20040810 mingw additional files for 3.4.1, but are still using the main 3.3.3 release?

If not, your system is bizarre, because when I attempt to reproduce what you say above, the build never reaches the linking stage - having hit numerous errors first due to stricter behaviours in gcc 3.4.

Sidenote to Gerrit:
Perhaps the gcc-mingw-* version numbers should look like 3.4.1_20040810-1 - it might avoid some confusion. Or is there a reason not to use just 3.4.1-1 ?


Max.
