[Mingw-users] problem linking: _imp__ prefixed

[Nehal <ne...@ca...>]

Hello,

im trying to compile glib 2.2.1

when i compile 'glib' it works fine,
then i compile 'gobject' and it links
fine to glib, everything seems fine..

but when it tries to build testobject.exe
i get literally hundred of undefined referenced
errors for libgobject ... here are some..

./libgobject-2.0.a(gparam.o)(.text+0x1fc4):gparam.c: undefined reference 
to `_imp__g_threads_got_initialized'
./libgobject-2.0.a(gparam.o)(.text+0x1fe5):gparam.c: undefined reference 
to `_imp__g_thread_functions_for_glib_use'
./libgobject-2.0.a(gparam.o)(.text+0x2005):gparam.c: undefined reference 
to `_imp__g_thread_functions_for_glib_use'

the list goes on...

it seems to be putting _imp__ to the beggining of the
symbol, why does this happen? and how do i fix?

im using latest Mingw and msys 1.0.8

GNU ld version 2.13.90 20021005

gcc version 3.2 (mingw special 20020817-1)

thx, Nehal
