Alright, I'm replying to my own email because I
figured out the problem and maybe this could be
beneficial to others having the same problem at a
later time. I created a .def file which contained all
of the symbols I was exporting using the methods found
here:
http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/dll.html
note that this definition file did NOT include the
symbols the compiler was complaining about like
NULL_IMPORT_DESCRIPTOR. Then you give the definition
file as an arguement to gcc along with all of your
object files, mine looked like this:
gcc -L/usr/local/lib -L. -I.
-I/cygdrive/c/Oracle/Ora81
/oci/include -Wall -shared -o files.dll files.o
handle.o files.def -lcurses
specifying the files.def file made it stop complaining
about those other symbols.
Good Luck,
-Rob

Hi guys,
I'm still trying to figure out how to fix this.
I've been scouring the internet looking for anyone
who's had a similar problem and someone mentioned
creating a definition file. Do I need to pass a .def
file to the linker. I really could use some help,
thanks guys...

Hi,
I am trying to link to a proprietary dll and
I'm
so damn close I
can almost taste the sweet sweet linkage. But i
got
a
little error.
It's says it cannot find some symbols and
therefore
the export fails?
Maybe you guys can help clarify,
