Actually, -lgdbm SHOULD result in a dynamic link. unless you explicitly say '-static', ld will first attempt to link against "libgdbm.dll.a" (the import lib for cyggdbm.dll) BEFORE trying to link against "libgdbm.a" (the static lib). > Should be link against the import lib -lgsbm.dll to have cyggdbm.dll > used? No, see above. (Also, the current gdbm DLLization is "old style" -- which means that if you want to link STATICALLY you have to compile with -DGDBM_STATIC. See /usr/doc/Cygwin/gdbm.README.

True -- are you volunteering, Gerrit? :-) --Chuck
