And.. Hmmm.. I *think* auto import of data variables may be somewhat broken (and declared import of data variables too) if 1) The import library is stripped with --strip-unneeded and/or 2) The import is from another DLL (.exe -> .dll[func] -> .dll[data]) (See msg dated 9/17/03 which seems to have been drowned.. There is a test case in it) --Ivan -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
