Marco:
Based on the tone of your response, I am thinking that I
am doing something stupid on windows win32?
Should I be using Microsoft compiler to build ceecodelib.a? (Instead of
Mingw 4.7x)
I was seeing COFF magic error for Microsoft compiler static libraries.
The amount of information I found on compiling c-code for static linking
against freepascal has
been pretty sparse, so I guessed that I need to use a gcc compiler to
create static linkable code for freepascal 2.6.2
A good example is inside the static library ceecodelib.a which calls:
GetTickCount( )
My pascal code successfully links {$LINKLIB objwin32/libceecode.a}, but
that is not the real problem.
This error shows up in the linker for freepascal as:
Error: Undefined symbol: _GetTickCount@0
So that is what I am trying to get rid of, all the unresolved references
by telling the linker where to find the function
without having to manually put a function GetTickCount : DWORD; cdecl ;
external name 'Kernel32.dll' ; in a pas file for every unresolved reference.
Just easier with {$LINKLIB kernel32}, except the compiler spits out:
Error: Import library not found for kernel32. (Yikes!)
Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, your my only hope.

Thanks for your response.
I am trying to use {$LINKLIB ceecodelib.a} .
But this compiled c code makes references to Windows C Runtime calls
like _memcpy, etc.
What is that library compiled with? I guess mingw.
You probably need various .a files from that compiler to get this working.
Preferably exactly the same version and exactly the same build, though
I guess import libs are pretty invariant.
The ones that you see in gdbint are meant to be used with a package that
contains libgdb.a and all other .a's that are dependencies from the mingw
suite these were built with.
