Re: g-wrap on cygwin

[Andy Wingo]

Hi Edgar,

I think this is the place, yes -- but I don't really understand the
error. First it says that it can't link to the static libffi.la, which I
don't get because g-wrap should always be built dynamically; perhaps we
need to AC_DISABLE_STATIC in the configure.in. Can you try adding
--disable-static to the ./configure line?

Then it complains about data structures:

But I have no idea why ld is failing. Is it the undefined reference to
_ffi_call? That would certainly be the case if you don't have a
dynamically built libffi.la. Perhaps that is the reason?

Cheers,
