René,

Thanks very much for replying so quickly.

I've just tried:

dllwrap -o uuid.dll --def uuid.def uuid.o
  /usr/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/../../src/utils/dllinit.o -L/usr/lib -lpostgres
  -Wl,-Bstatic -luuid -Wl,-Bdynamic

dllwrap -o uuid.dll --def uuid.def uuid.o
  /usr/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/../../src/utils/dllinit.o -L/usr/lib -lpostgres
  -L/usr/lib/w32api -Wl,-Bstatic -luuid -Wl,-Bdynamic

and

dllwrap -o uuid.dll --def uuid.def uuid.o
  /usr/lib/postgresql/pgxs/src/../../src/utils/dllinit.o -L/usr/lib -lpostgres
  -L/usr/lib/w32api -Wl,-Bstatic,-luuid,-Bdynamic

All three give the same errors:

uuid.o:uuid.c:(.text+0xe): undefined reference to `_uuid_compare'
uuid.o:uuid.c:(.text+0x55): undefined reference to `_uuid_generate_random'
uuid.o:uuid.c:(.text+0x98): undefined reference to `_uuid_parse'
uuid.o:uuid.c:(.text+0x174): undefined reference to `_uuid_unparse_lower'
uuid.o:uuid.c:(.text+0x2fd): undefined reference to `_uuid_unparse_lower'
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
dllwrap: gcc exited with status 1

Probably should have mentioned: latest Cygwin DLL, Cygwin (not native Windows)
PostgreSQL 8.1.4, latest w32api.

Thanks again

Ant.
