This is "by design", not a limitation. The idea is that DLLs should be self-containing and not require that the loading executable/module defines certain symbols. This is why import libraries are used; to make sure all symbols are resolved at link-time. As a result, Windows DLLs are not allowed to contain unresolved symbols. A much cleaner design, IMHO. /Jesper -- Jesper Eskilson Virtutech http://www.virtutech.com -- 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/
