Building the GNU cgicc library...

[Nicholas Wourms]

It is a common courtesy to keep public discussions on the list, that way 
if someone else encounters this same problem, they might know what to do.

Please see my message again, I put ^^^^^^^^ underneath the output 
message which tipped me off.

Well, you see it is more complex than just passing a linker flag. 
-no-undefined is a libtool flag and it should only be passed at 
linktime.  So try LDFLAGS="-no-undefined" and see what happens, but why 
didn't you try exactly what I told you in the first place?

Well you need to try the approach I first mentioned.  This is not 
relevant if you haven't passed the correct linker flags to libtool. 
Please reread my previous message and try that apprach.

That isn't really saying much, because most people still think 1.4.3 is 
the most current, when in fact 1.5.0 is the latest "stable" release.  Do 
not be deceived by the labeling in the cygwin package, the truth of the 
matter is that 1.4.x is no longer being maintained.

Cheers,
Nicholas
