I'm redirecting my question here, since it also applies to "gcc -static" on Cygwin.
Cheers, Janus ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Janus Weil <ja...@gcc.gnu.org> Date: 2010/4/23 Subject: static linking on Cygwin To: gfortran <fort...@gcc.gnu.org> Hi all, I have just tried the gfortran 4.3.4 build on Cygwin/WinXP (I'm not a regular Windows/Cygwin user though). One thing I noticed is that compiling with -static fails: /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/4.3.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot find -lgcc_ It works, however, when adding -static-libgcc. On Linux compiling with -static works fine, also without -static-libgcc. Can someone explain this behaviour to me? Is this a feature or a bug? Cheers, Janus
