Hi all.
I am trying to figure out how to create a .dll
that depends on cygwin1.dll and msvcrt.dll.
Here is the link time error I am currently seeing:
gcc -shared -g -o tcl84d.dll -Wl,--out-implib,libtcl84d.a

make: *** [tcl84d.dll] Error 1
When building with the -no-cygwin, the -lmsvcrt
flag is automatically passed to the linker. Thing
is you can't just pass -lmsvcrt to Cygwin's gcc
because the libmsvcrt.a file lives in
/lib/mingw/libmsvcrt.a which is only searched
when -mno-cygwin is passed.
These calls to _beginthreadex and _endthreadex
are made instead of calling CreateThread and
ExitThread because of a problem with memory
leaks.
Any ideas how I can work around this problem?
thanks
