[Mingw-users] Bad linking cause program hang and/or hot loop?

[Kirk J. <kir...@gm...>]

I just built a program that uses boost and wxWidgets using a GNU style
build system from within msys. When I try to launch the program the CPU
spins (~50%) and the program never actually starts. It does show up in the
task manager.

I tested a few wxWidgets examples. They compile and execute without issue.

I have not directly tested boost as I don't yet understand how to test the
libs used in the project I'm trying to build. Working on that.

>From googling and reading old mailing list posts over the last few days I
gather that this sort of thing might possibly have to do with botched run
time linking. Can anyone advise on how to check whether that's the problem?
