Linking Issue,

[Sinan KAYA]

This is a compiler specific problem.Check out gcc documentation on how
to use it.

You use -l switch to link a library against a project. You need
something like

gcc .... -lpthreadGC2d 

Note that you omit lib in front of the library file and you can also
tell the compiler where to find the library by "-L" switch

Subject: Linking Issue,

Hi,

I had really hoped to solve this problem by searching the list archive,
so
sorry for the question, but I am struggling.
I am sure this is a simple one.

I am using MinGW to compile and use pthreads.
I have built libpthreadGC2d.a and libpthreadGC2.a

I cannot seem to link the built library to my c++ application.
With -DPTW32_STATIC_LIB I receive undefined reference 'pthread_create',
and
without the define I receive undefined reference '__imp_pthread_create'

Is this a common problem?

Regards
Craig
