Hi Bruce,
Thanks for the response.
Most likely you are right about the cross-compiling. In that case the compiler
doesn't add the .exe by itself. Actually in one case, there was already a
$(X) in the link line. So, I guess, it doesn't hurt.
I removed the #include because it isn't available in my compiler setup. The
freebsd port is used here.
For your information, let me list the versions:
as reported with "--version":
mingw32-gcc (GCC) 3.3.1 (mingw special 20030804-1)
GNU ld version 2.15.90 20040222
as reported with "pkg_info | grep mingw32"
mingw32-bin-msvcrt-r3.2.a2.5 Headers and Libraries for Windows
cross-development
mingw32-binutils-2.15.90.20040222.1,1 FSF binutils-2.14 for Windows
cross-development
mingw32-gcc-3.3.1.20030804.1_3,1 FSF gcc-3.3 for Windows cross-development
I can try to install a newer cross-compiler by hand, instead of the port, and
try again.
Interesting, I am confused no one else uses a cross-compiler ;)
If you want me to do more tests, i can do those tomorrow morning,
Michiel
