Linker can't resolve any references

[Bob Cowdery <bob at bobcowdery dot plus dot com>]

Hi all,

This is such a basic problem I must be doing something daft. I have a
set of static libraries which I am linking into a dll. None of the
external references seem to be getting resolved. This is on Win7 and I
have MinGW and msys installed using the msys make. I am using Eclipse
CDT but get the same result from the command line. Here is the start of
the build to which I added the -v flag, but it still didn't help me. I
know this set of libraries builds into a shared library ok because I
have done so using Python distutils. However, this time its not Python
at the top end so I can't use that.

Any help would be very much appreciated.

Regards
Bob
