The undefined reference is because fundamentally ELF (Linux) and PE/COFF (Windows) are very different in terms of how linking works under the hood. The short explanation is that PE/COFF requires all references to be resolved at link-time, thus you have to explicitly tell the linker where createlog() is to be found. But I've typed this explanation so many times, I think I'll just start linking to past copies of it: http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2005-07/msg00675.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2006-12/msg00592.html http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2007-06/msg00450.html Brian -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
