Re: *****SPAM***** [Mingw-users] [mingw - StupidTechiQuestions] RE: Cannot link SDL+OpenGL example with MinGW

[Brian K. <bk...@em...>]

They were right.  The Linux gcc can link that way.  I **think** it is 
because on Linux the linking is done with shared libraries directly and 
with Mingw the linking is with import libraries.  Dunno if that is 
actually the case though.
