compiling with a 3rd party DLL

["Shugard, Donald" <donald.shugard@xxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

I am using gcc under cygwin, trying to compile with a 3rd party dll. (CEI22032.dll)  I used imdef to create the definitions file (condor.def). I used dlltool to create condor.a. I used gcc to compile foo.c and link.

I get the error message foo.o(.text+0x31):foo.c: undefined reference to `_ar_version@4'  

I used od -c on foo.o and indeed the _ar_version@4 is in foo.o

I thought the -U to ddl_tool would prepend the "_" to the definitions and that --kill-at  to gcc would get rid of the @4

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?

	Thanks

	Don Shugard
