I'm missing something here. If the CYGWIN libraries don't export functions
(aren't current with MS API's) then
you simply can't use the function. At least that's what I thought. After a
few simple experiments, I find that I might be wrong. Is there something
written somewhere that describes the relationship between
gcc msg.c
and the Microsoft libraries? For instance, using gcc -v I see no references
to the mssdk libraries. Is that
because there isn't any? Here is my simple "msg.c" program:
#include <windows.h>
int main(int ac, char *av[])
{
MessageBox(NULL, "Messsage", "Title", MB_OK);
return 0;
}
It compiles with either
cl msg.c user32.lib -o msg-cl.exe
or
gcc msg.c -o msg-gcc
Both compile, link and execute properly. More precisely,
gcc -c msg.c
ld -Bdynamic /lib/crt0.o msg.o -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2
-luser32 -lcygwin -lkernel32
produces a correctly working executable. Here, all the "-l" things refer to
/lib/libXXX.a modules. Substituting
//e/mssdk/lib/user32.lib for the "-luser" in the ld line, results in an
undefined reference to MessageBoxA
which is what I would expect.
As you can see, I am a bit confused. Any pointers to writeups on how all
the gcc libraries and
Windows libraries fit together would be greately appreciated. Also, I
wouldn't mind writing some of this
up once I understand it.
Thank you

They don't export WGAGetLastError. They export WSAGetLastError AT 0.
This means that you aren't including the proper headers (winsock.h),
and it's defaulting to cdecl instead of stdcall (WINAPI) calling
conventions.
