But I still have to say gcc -o chuck.exe ...... -lgdbm_compat -lgdbm right? wrong?
IMO: wrong. If there is just the runtime dependency as it seems to be in perl, then there is no need to link against libgdbm.
You are correct. As it happens, I was messing around with this today -- only direct dependencies need to be included on the link line.
No libtool needed for perl. I changed the hints/cygwin.pl entries since the symbols needed were not available in libgdbm.dll.a:
Ah. Well, thanks for giving it a shot. Now, back to your regularly scheduled libgdbm-based (not libgdbm3-based) build of perl. <g>
