Thadt might be true, but i allways struggle to find the correct manuals. 
I Google all the time but it is verry
hard for me to find the hardfacts. Of cause, there are lots of 
Informations out there, but if you have a specific
question like linking a non standard Linux/Unix Compiler on a special 
Windows Versio (Vista) with all the hassle,
its not thadt eas: In my opinion there must be a think like "-lfoo to 
link to libfoo.dll.a," and it was.

It sounds stupid but can you give me a link to the Manual and Books 
thadt you are using?
I google a lot but i allways find some basic stuff. On FreeBSD the docs 
are a dream, but on Linux sometimes it
depresses me.

I know Cygwin but the last time i was looking at it, there was no plans 
off 64-Bit on Windows  and other things simply doesent
work.

wsock32.lib was an example, there is no Project where iam using this lib.

Iam the Setup Guy and i have no shy to create Setup.exes (now *.msi) 
MacOSX DMG's, Redhat RPM's, Debian DEB's and Solaris ICS
Packages as well.  On Linux (with KDevelop or Anjunta) Autotools would 
my choice, but i must work on Mac, Solaris, Windows and
FreeBSD and i think, if i only use the GCC / G++ then pure Makefiles are 
my best Friends, but you are right, i will use GTK's pkg-config
and this was the real Problem i was had.

Thx for the help
Best regards, Peter
