Thanks Kai! I did what you suggest, and now most of the undefined references
are gone! To help others with the same issue, here is what I did:
I needed to go back all the way to Microsoft Visual Studio 2005, since the
newer versions did not have both files. I could then find them easily in the
Visual Studio installation folder, and link them with gcc without problems.
I have a few remaining undefined references, do these mean anything to someone?
Google really did not return anything useful :-(
undefined reference to `_set_abort_behavior'
undefined reference to `__chkstk'
undefined reference to `??_7type_info@@6B@'
All the best,
Mario
