Make sure you use the option -shared and ***NOT*** -share. The -share option when used in a windows command prompt shell in my machine ERASES the existing *.exe files of the same name!!! However, it does give a message to the effect that -share is not a valid option. ---Justine -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41128
