That is going to depend on your build. This is the relevant .la line in the official cygwin qt3: dependency_libs=' -L/usr/X11R6/lib -lGL -lXmu -lXi -lXrender -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXft -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lXext -lX11 -lSM -lICE -lresolv -lz -lpthread' This is what I get with my own built qt3-X11: dependency_libs='-L/usr/X11R6/lib -lXrender -lXrandr -lXcursor -lXft -lfreetype -lfontconfig -lXext -lX11 ' And here are the dependency libs with my own built qt3-Win: dependency_libs=' -lkernel32 -luser32 -lgdi32 -lcomdlg32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lole32 -loleaut32 -luuid -limm32 -lwinmm -lwsock32 -lwinspool -lopengl32 ' These last libs are much the same as those required by a native qt3-Win. I get a .prl file in this case but you said you don't have it. I get a libtool when I compile a native qt3-Win but then I don't know if this is the result of using "g++ -mno-cygwin" together with all cygwin tools (I don't have neither mingw nor msys). I tried the patch with a native qt3-Win, too, and it didn't hurt, but didn't do the trick either, in the sense that I still had to specify the required libraries in LDFLAGS. IMO, the mingw case is an hopeless one and LDFLAGS should be used in any case. -- Enrico
