Hi all,

I'm trying to port an app from linux to Cygwin, and it's choking when trying 
to link to the pcre library.

When I compile (with "gcc -lpcre rob.c"), I get the message:
   /c/DOCUME~1/rsiklos/LOCALS~1/Temp/cc7QPrgq.o(.text+0x44):rob.c: undefined 
reference to `_pcre_compile'
   collect2: ld returned 1 exit status

This is the program:
== rob.c =================================
#include <stdio.h>
#include <stdlib.h>
#include <string.h>
#include <pcre.h>
int main () {
 const char *err;
 int erroffset;

  pcre *ppat = pcre_compile("rob", 0, &err, &erroffset, NULL);
  free(ppat);
  return 0;
}
=======================================

any help would be greatly appreciated? (cygcheck output attached)

thanks,

rob.
