I get that same error and have to actually change the make files to show something like this

LIBS = /cygnus/B18/H-i386-cygwin32/i386-cygwin32/lib/libsoket.a
or i do the linking manually at bash..
I would like to know why this does this too. I have messed with some of the files contained
in the cdk but then who hasent ???
