Yes, libcygwin.a is the import library. But I don't understand why you need it (or -lc either for that matter). Just compiling with Cygwin's gcc/g++ gets you all this, unless you're using -mno-cygwin, in which case you're undoing it by explicitly linking Cygwin anyway. Clearly, you're doing something I don't understand but in the whole sheme of things, my understanding of your problem isn't a requirement for anything. ;-) -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
