This works as the Watcom linker supports the COFF object code format. However, there seems to be a problem with uninitialized variables. After analyzing an object file it seems as if the BSS segment always has size 0 so that the Cygwin generated object files are not valid COFF files. Is this a known problem? I ended up in making all uninitialized data to 0-inialized variables. Is there any better way? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
