Probably mostly due to other software package telling you to do it. Pdcurses, eg., is one (but surprisingly works just fine when I do add -lkernel32!). The other one is octave, and the reason is due to the way octave configure script works (and octave does crashe mysteriously when -lkernel32 is added to link line). > I have been unable to find any documentation about the > linker switch in question (-lkernel32) except that it appears > to be mentioned in earlier versions of the distribution. > If someone wants to explain the in's and outs of these > various (win32 specific) switches and how they are supposed > to work, I'm all ears.

Regards, Mumit -- khan AT xraylith DOT wisc DOT edu http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/ ps: Wonder why the sometime 24-48 hour delay in the mailing list messages? Or am I only one seeing the messages after so long? - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
