Somewhere between Mumit's custom 19990818 version of binutils as distributed in latest, and the more recent cygwin binutils (20000625) which is more-or-less direct from binutils-CVS, the --shared option broke. I'm getting the following error, using the ==stock== cygwin binutils-20000625 ld.exe: ------ ld --shared -Bdynamic -e __cygwin_dll_entry AT 12 -o libz.dll -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2 -L/usr/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-cygwin/2.95.2/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/lib --out-implib=libz.dll.a libz.def adler32.o compress.o crc32.o gzio.o uncompr.o deflate.o trees.o zutil.o inflate.o infblock.o inftrees.o infcodes.o infutil.o inffast.o -lgcc -lcygwin -luser32 -lkernel32 -ladvapi32 -lshell32 -lgcc Creating library file: libz.dll.a bfd_close libz.dll.a: Invalid operation ------ This command works fine if I simply replace ld.exe with the one from the 19990818 cygwin tarball. Can anybody recommend *where* in the code I should start looking for this problem? (Yeah, 'bfd_close' is pretty obvious, but I saw nothing enlightening there. The binutils code with its cross-platform-ness is really a tangled confusing mess...) --Chuck -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
