I keep forgetting it can do that these days :(

  Perhaps it's time that OP explain exactly /what/ the problem is; I did
assume that a straightforward "-lfoo" must already have not worked in some
way.  Mani?

=================================================

Hi,

   Yes, I am not able to link directly sybase .dll in g++ compiler in cygwin.
   I have created .def file with help of dumpbin command. I have
modified the .def file.
   My .def file will be
   EXPORTS

	JagCppProcess_main
	delete_JagCppProcess
	new_JagCppProcess
	new_JagSIOPStream
	
   With help of dlltool command i have created .a file also. Now i can
able to link and
   i got the EXE also. But while running the exe, i got the error message
   _cygtls::handle_exceptions: Exception: STATUS_ACCESS_VIOLATION
   I want to clarify the following things
   (i) Can i use dumpbin to get the .def file?
   (ii) Why the exception thrown ?

   But when i run the same sample code arith.cpp in windows
environment, i am getting the result.
