From: Aaron DOT Denney AT tanner DOT com (Aaron Denney) Subject: Updated needed for FAQ? (linking msvc objects) 31 Mar 1998 22:55:32 -0800 Message-ID: <01BD5910.1DCC02A0.Aaron.Denney.cygnus.gnu-win32@tanner.com> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit To: "'gnu-win32 AT cygnus DOT com'" The question "Can I mix objects compiled with msvc++ and gcc?" currently reads: Yes, this supposedly works. The key seems to be using MS's LINK.EXE to do the linking instead of GNU ld. There may be issues with constructor calls for C++/Obj C. I thought that the inability of ld to handle this was due to a bug in the PE handling in B18, and was fixed as of B19? Also, a clarification on the section "How can I build a relocatable dll?" if you do specify a --subsytem flag to ld, the -e entry must come after the subsystem flag, since the subsystem flag sets a different default entry point. -- Aaron Denney - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request AT cygnus DOT com" with one line of text: "help".
