Hi,

I've been using gnu-win32 since back in the v16 days, but never
seriously until now.  I downloaded v18 recently and attempted to make
a relocatable dll following all the instructions I could find (thanks
to the people who forged the path :-)).  All the files below were
taken from the instructions at
http://www.cygnus.com/misc/gnu-win32/building-reloc-dlls.txt.


My problem is I can't resolve one symbol that appears to be related to
the dll creation.   

Here's fixup.c :

         asm(".section .idata$3\n" ".long 0,0,0,0, 0,0,0,0");


Here's init.cc

#include <windows.h> 

extern "C" 
{
  int WINAPI dll_entry (HANDLE h, DWORD reason, void *ptr);
};

int WINAPI dll_entry (HANDLE , 
                     DWORD reason,
                     void *)
{
  switch (reason) 
    {
    case DLL_PROCESS_ATTACH:
      break;
    case DLL_PROCESS_DETACH:
      break;
    case DLL_THREAD_ATTACH:
      break;
    case DLL_THREAD_DETACH:
      break;
    }
  return 1;
}


Here's my "makedll" script:

#link with main
gcc tclAppInit.c tcl76.a -o tclsh76.exe



Here's the output when I run it:

//d/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/lib/libcygwin.a(libccrt0.o)(.text+0x8a):libccrt0.cc: undefined reference to `GetModuleHandleA AT 4'
//d/gnuwin32/b18/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/lib/libcygwin.a(libccrt0.o)(.text+0x8a):libccrt0.cc: undefined reference to `GetModuleHandleA AT 4'

Is libcygwin.a missing this symbol or is there another lib I should
link with?  Have I missed something obvious?  I'll keep poking at my
installation to see if I've hosed something.

FWIW, my platform is NT4.0.

Thanks for your thoughts!

Rgds,

Bret
