slightly off topic: gnu make and VC++

[Ulrich Lauther <ulrich dot lauther at mchp dot siemens dot de>]

Unnerved by VC++'s gui, I tried to convert a generated *.mak file
to gnu make's syntax and to run make. This seems to work for generating
objects, but in the link stage I get an anresolved extern "operator new()".
link.exe seems to use some hidden libs, but I can't find out which ones.
Can anybody help? Here is the link command and the error message (newlines
inserted for readability):


link.exe /LIBPATH:/programme/devstudio/vc/lib kernel32.lib user32.lib
  gdi32.lib winspool.lib comdlg32.lib advapi32.lib shell32.lib ole32.lib
