Here is a snippet of the output from running configure: checking for ld used by GCC... /bin/ld.exe checking if the linker (/bin/ld.exe) is GNU ld... yes checking for BSD-compatible nm... /bin/nm -B checking whether ln -s works... yes updating cache ./config.cache loading cache ./config.cache within ltconfig checking for object suffix... o checking for executable suffix... .exe checking for gcc option to produce PIC... none checking if gcc supports -c -o file.o... yes checking if gcc supports -c -o file.lo... yes checking if gcc supports -fno-rtti -fno-exceptions ... yes checking if gcc static flag -static works... -static checking if the linker (/bin/ld.exe) is GNU ld... yes checking whether the linker (/bin/ld.exe) supports shared libraries... yes checking command to parse /bin/nm -B output... ok checking how to hardcode library paths into programs... immediate checking for /bin/ld.exe option to reload object files... -r checking dynamic linker characteristics... Win32 ld.exe checking if libtool supports shared libraries... yes checking if package supports dlls... no checking whether to build shared libraries... no checking whether to build static libraries... yes It seams that the configure script is broken because even though I specify using no static libs, it still checks for whether libtool support shared libs and it still tries to create the shared libs. I realize this is not the fault of the compiler. Here is the snipped of output from the build process: /bin/sh ../libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -Wall -o libgdk.la -rpath /usr/local/lib -version-info 5:0:5 -release 1.2 -export-dynamic -L/usr/X11/lib -lXext -lX11 -lipc -lm gdk.lo gdkcc libtool: link: warning: undefined symbols not allowed in i686-pc-cygwin shared libraries Thanks to everyone who posted information regarding windows versions of gtk but I'm only interested in building this under cygwin using X.
