So far so good - not.
I am trying to link against the lib*.a files using the Visual Studio linker, and it
seems to accept them. However I do get the following warning;
libcygwin.a(d001126.o) : warning LNK4078: multiple '.text' sections found with
different attributes (E0000020)
Moreover when I try and run the executable, absolutely nothing happens.
Now I remember reading somewhere that MSVCRT.DLL and cygwin1.dll are mutually
exclusive, so I flange my makefile to add /NODEFAULTLIB on the link line. I now get
the additional message;
LINK : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _mainCRTStartup
I know this is simple to fix, but my brain has just gone to sleep - any tips?
Alastair.
