I need mostly socket stuff, the link (with MSVC) without libcygwin.a
produces:
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _gethostname
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _sleep
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __imp___ctype_
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _accept
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _select
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _listen
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _bind
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _setsockopt
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _socket
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _htons
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol _getservbyname
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __impure_ptr
: error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol __impure_ptr
From previous experience I believe I can safely ignore the impure_ptr
errors (by forcing the link with /FORCE), and if you know what libraries to
strip out of libcygwin to get the above symbols taken care of that would be
great. Thanks for responding.
