Just a simple test I've done, though I don't know what it means exactly: [ptsekov@nobel lib]$ ls -la total 1928 drwxr-xr-x 2 ptsekov develope 4096 Jan 21 13:19 . drwxr-xr-x 7 ptsekov develope 4096 Jan 19 19:22 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 523 Jan 19 19:22 automode.o -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 440 Jan 19 19:22 binmode.o -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 560 Jan 19 19:22 crt0.o -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 731 Jan 19 19:22 gcrt0.o -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 678 Jan 19 19:22 libautomode.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 594 Jan 19 19:22 libbinmode.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 683164 Jan 19 19:22 libc.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 792112 Jan 19 19:22 libcygwin.a lrwxrwxrwx 1 ptsekov develope 11 Jan 21 13:19 libg.a -> libcygwin.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 4536 Jan 19 19:22 libgmon.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 174096 Jan 19 19:22 libiberty.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 191970 Jan 19 19:22 libm.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 54542 Jan 19 19:22 libpthread.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 594 Jan 19 19:22 libtextmode.a -rw-r--r-- 1 ptsekov develope 440 Jan 19 19:22 textmode.o [ptsekov@nobel lib]$ grep -n -e "/dev/null" * Binary file libc.a matches Binary file libm.a matches Binary file libpthread.a matches This are the same files that are listed in the 1.3.7-1 announcement: - Create special versions of import library with only appropriate symbols for libpthread.a, libm.a, and libc.a. (Ralf Habacker, Christopher Faylor) I dont know the details on how this special libs are build but from what was posted on the list I know some kind of script is involved. Maybe there is some error in the script or perhaps your usage of -lpthread is not quite right and triggers the real problem. However someone with more knowledge is needed to answer these questions :) -- 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/
