- Subject: what to use in place of libutil.so?
I'm trying to build Unison version 2.9.99. Compilation succeeds, but
the link step fails with
/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/3.3.3/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld:
cannot find -lutil
after running a gcc command that includes '-lutil'. I've searched the
Cygwin packages, and it does seem that there's no file libutil.a or
libutil.so in any of them. On other platforms, this is a standard
library.
So is there some other library that I should use in place of libutil.*
on Cygwin? I tried 'ln -s libcygwin.a /usr/lib/libutil.a' (what the
hell, it was worth a shot) but it failed.
Other people have asked about this same problem in other forums, but I
haven't seen any of them get an answer.
Thanks,
Andrew.
