not sure whether this is relevant, but there is no drive letter in that library path.
cygwin doesn't know about /mingw anyway, but if i am in a cmd shell, it does matter what drive i'm on, as absolute paths without drive letter will default to the root of that drive:
D:\>c:\mingw\bin\ld \mingw\lib\crt2.o -M | find "OUTPUT" c:\mingw\bin\ld: \mingw\lib\crt2.o: No such file: No such file or directory
C:\>c:\mingw\bin\ld \mingw\lib\crt2.o -M | find "OUTPUT" .. OUTPUT(a.exe pei-i386)
I suspect this may be because gcc has managed to pick up the Cygwin ld instead of the mingw one. Monique - what exactly is your PATH? What happens when you say 'ld --version'? Cheers, Simon
