Hi,

I'm sure my problem is simple so I've tried to work it out using online docs, but I'm not a Unix user and feel I'm drowning in its arcana.

I've downloaded Cygwin and compiled and run a simple program.  OK.

Then I went onto more serious things and tried to compile to a dll (which is the reason I want to use it).

I'm trying things from docs and this list (eg gcc -s -Wl,--base-file,mydll.base -o mydll.dll mydll.o -Wl,-e,_mydll_init AT 12 ) [not that I've worked out what all of it means]

Compiler then tells me it can't find ld.exe - I see it's looking in /usr/bin......, but this file is in /bin

In screwing around with mount to get it to look in the right place I've made everything worse, and now nothing happens.

I think I'll reinstall to get back to the beginning, but what do I have to do to make the compiler look in the right place?  Is there a place to look for  a person that's never heard of posix?

Thanks
Geo
