My problem is the following. I have a static library libmysqlclient.a, from MySQL version compiled under Linux (mysql-5.0.45-linux-i686-glibc23). Is there any possibility to link that library to an object file complied under Cygwin's GCC?
For instance, I have the following code (test.c): #include "mysql.h" #include <stdarg.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> ... int main(int argc,char* argv[]) { MYSQL *one, *two; mysql_server_init(argc, argv, server_groups); ... } gcc -c test.c As a result in test.o there is a reference to mysql_server_init() function as "_mysql_server_init", i.e. with '_' as the first symbol. In libmysqlclient.a, where the code of mysql_server_init() function is located, I see a reference to "mysql_server_init" (without '_' symbol). On attempt to link test.o with libmysqlclient.a I get the following error: test.o: undefined reference to '_mysql_server_init' because of problem described above. Linking is initiated by executing such command: gcc -o mian -L. -lmysqlclient main.o Thus, could you please explain me: - Is there any way to link and use Linux libraries under Cygwin at all? - How can I workaround generation of references with '_' as a first symbol in test.o?
