Colin?)? Hi Paul, I blame this on "growing pains". I've seen this error when the import stub library (eg., libfoo.a that goes with foo.dll) was created an older version of dlltool such as the one distributed with b18 or perhaps maybe the one with b19 (which I never used, so wouldn't know). First of all, you'll need to figure out what DLL is causing this error (not always the obvious one in my experience), and then I suggest the following to test my hypothesis: 1. use impdef or some such tool to extract the .def file from the .dll file. Jan-Jaap or Colin has an impdef on their site. 2. Create a new import library .a file from .def file using dlltool from either my mingw32 1.0.2 distrib or binutils-2.9.1 (it's on my ftp site). If the problem still remains, we'll cross that bridge then. If you're already tried all this, the bridge is already gone and we can take it up via private email and then summarize to the list ...
