Both nm and objdump are capable of displaying symbol tables. The error message you're getting means you need to explicitly specify "--target=BFDNAME" with BFDNAME matching the .obj file's format. The formats we typically see are pe-i386 and pei-i386 for x86 object and image, and pe-x86-64 and pei-x86-64 for x86_64 object and image, respectively. 'nm --help' and 'objdump --help' show the supported targets. ..mark -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
