Hello,
I am in working on porting some code to cygwin but I am stuck. I need it to be
compiled as a dll but gcc gives me a linking error.
This code triggers the error:
extern int num;
int foo() {
extern int num;
num = 5;
}
the error is:
hello.c:(.text+0x5): undefined reference to `_num'
And this is how I call gcc: "gcc -shared hello.c"
Interestingly, the code above does work on my ubuntu installation (ubuntu 7.10
gcc 4.1.3)
Any help is appreciated
Regards
Fernando
Here is the complete verbose output of gcc:
$ gcc -shared hello.c -v
