For that reason Wine ships with its own gcc/g++ wrapper programs called winegcc/wineg++ both are mingw compatible. You should build your program using that and it won't have issues linking with wine libraries and it also allows you to link against linux libraries.<br>> <br>> Roderick<br>> -- <br>> Sensationsangebot verl�ngert: GMX FreeDSL - Telefonanschluss + DSL <br>> f�r nur 16,37 Euro/mtl.!* http://dsl.gmx.de/?ac=OM.AD.PD003K1308T4569a<br><br /><hr />Suspicious message?
