[Dev-C++] not passing linking options when compiling dll ?

[Mike M. <mc...@ms...>]

I have finally accomplished compiling a dll and a project that uses it, 
thanks to those that helped!

My only problem now is that I cannot use iostream's cout within the DLL, I 
get undefined reference errors... I've been working on this in the mingw 
mailing list, and came across an interesting discovery today...

I'm trying to include the libstdc++.a library into the dll project, but its 
not getting passed on the command line at link time.  Here is the compile 
and Link command lines :

----------
Compiling files :
C:\OPENGL\DEV-C_~1\BIN\gcc -c -DBUILDING_DLL=1 -I. "c:\opengl\using a 
dll\printdll\print.cpp"  -s -mwindows   -IC:\OPENGL\DEV-C_~1\INCLUDE\ 
-IC:\OPENGL\DEV-C_~1\INCLUDE\G__~1 -IC:\OPENGL\DEV-C_~1\INCLUDE\ 
-LC:\OPENGL\DEV-C_~1\LIB\ -BC:\OPENGL\DEV-C_~1\BIN\
Linking files :
C:\OPENGL\DEV-C_~1\BIN\dllwrap --export-all --output-def 
C:\OPENGL\USINGA~1\PRINTDLL\dll.def --implib 
"C:\OPENGL\USINGA~1\PRINTDLL\libPrintdll.a" -o 
c:\opengl\usinga~1\printdll\Printdll.dll "c:\opengl\using a 
dll\printdll\print.o"
----------

If, in project options, I uncheck the box that says "Create a DLL" then I 
will see "-lstdc++" on the link command line, but not if the "Create a DLL" 
option is checked.  Is this a bug within Dev-C++ ?  I tried running the 
linking command, with all the options, from a dos window but the command is 
too long.

Thanks for any help,
Mike
