The last I saw, there was a big discussion about this on the gcc mailing list and everyone agreed that gcc was not going to change anytime soon. As always, it is possible to link some C objects between MSVC and gcc. It isn't possible to link C++ objects which export symbols. However if you think this has changed why not post a URL which explains how this came to be? -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
