Hi

I have an archive libminipar.a. I have a C++ program pdemo.cpp that
makes use it. I am pasting the contents of the makefile at the end of
this email. When I compile the program on  linux, I get no errors.
However, when I compile it on cygwin using g++ version 3.4.4, I get
the following linking error (note that the relative paths of the lib
and include directories which I use are same on the linux and windows
machines):

*************************************************************************************************

*************************************************************************************************

Any idea why this should happen? I tried to use the -static flag while
linking on the linux machine and tried using the binary on cygwin. But
cygwin did not recognize the binary. The contents of the makefile are
(libminipar.a is located in ../lib/):

*************************************************************************************************
.SUFFIXES: .c .cpp
CC=g++
CFLAGS=-I../include $(GO)
LIBS=-lminipar

%.o:    %.cpp
        $(CC) -c -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $<

%.o:    %.c
        cc -c -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $<

pdemo:  pdemo.o
        $(CC) -o pdemo pdemo.o $(CFLAGS) -L../lib $(LIBS) -lz -lm

depend:
        gcc -M $(CFLAGS) *.cpp >.dep

clean:
        rm -f *.o
