The GNU linker used on MinGW is a Unix linker, and as such the order of the -l options is significant and for each -l option it only pulls in the objects required at that point in the link. This is different from how Windows linkers behave. You most likely need to repeat your -l options or use the --start-group/--end-group linker options. Ian
