Hi,
I've got a quick question hopefully. I'm building pcre on windows. I've
been able to build it into a dll and link against it with a small
program. However, when I build a static library, and link it with a
small program, I get the missing symbols error.
I know the symbols are in the library because nm tells me so,
$ nm -g /home/bobbybrasko/download/pcre/pcre/install/lib/libpcre.a|grep
compile
libpcre_la-pcre_compile.o:
00005550 T _pcre_compile
Here is the link line of the small program,
$ gcc-4.1 -g -Wall -o test test.c
-L/home/bobbybrasko/download/pcre/pcre/install/lib \
-lpcreposix -lpcre
-I/home/bobbybrasko/download/pcre/pcre/install/include
C:/WINDOWS/TEMP/ccgGAsIC.o(.text+0x2e): In function `main':
C:/msys/1.0/home/bobbybrasko/download/pcre/pcre/build/tmp/test.c:13:
undefined reference to `_imp__pcre_compile'
collect2: ld
returned 1 exit status
[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~/download/pcre/pcre/build/tmp
Here is the test program,
$ cat test.c
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <pcre.h>
pcre *re;
char *pattern;
const char *error;
int erroffset;
int
main (void)
{
re = pcre_compile(
pattern, /* the pattern */
0, /* default options */
&error, /* for error message */
&erroffset, /* for error offset */
NULL);
return 0;
}
Here is the link line of the library pcre,
/bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link gcc -g -O2 -o libpcre.la -rpath

creating libpcre.la
Does anyone understand why I'd be getting these errors? Are .def files
important for static windows libraries or only for dll's? Any advice?
Thanks,
