The DLL is linked with "gcc -o myprog myprog.c -L./ -lmydll". For the DLL I tried different names: * mydll.dll * cygmydll.dll * xmydll.dll "mydll.dll" and "cygmydll.dll" are found by "-lmydll". "xmydll.dll" isn't found by "-lmydll" but by "-lxmydll". It seems the "cyg" prefix is build into the linker upstream. What is the official policy to name DLL? Cygports with "cyg" prefix, other ones without? Al --=20 Caution crosser: =A0Runnig Gentoo/Prefix on Cygwin/Vista. All stupid questions are related to that context. -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
