[Mingw-users] _imp__cerr undefined reference / mingw32

[Rob S. <ro...@is...>]

Hi

I'm trying to build the aspell package using the latest versions of 
cygwin and gcc provided with mingw32. 
The whole package builds...until the very end at the final link where
I get this error:

make[2]: Entering directory `/home/rob/aspell-.33/src'

...and it goes on. This is extremely frustrating, I've tried every trick
in the book that I know and I cannot see why it fails to link against the
MS libraries correctly, everything else seems
to work. I've had a good look thru the archives and found nothing
conclusive that addresses this issue. Can someone help?

Thanks,
