I've redone cvs co, and treecc, pnet, pnetlib now cleanly build
using MingW/Cygwin (see attached action log). Two minor issues
are left (see below) which don't harm.

All checks succeed, except 4 thread related one's (I've submitted
a bug report).

Sadly, the linking problems remained exactly the same. The VC++
still says it can't resolve the 9 external symbols.

Is there anything I can do to analyze the origin of those
problems?

Greets,
Tobias





Two minor wrinkles were left during the procedure:

1. A cosmetical with pnet autoconf stuff:

$ ./auto_gen.sh
tests/Makefile.am:33: `CFLAGS' is a user variable, you should not override
it;
tests/Makefile.am:33: use `AM_CFLAGS' instead.



2. A MingW related issue with ranlib:

During "make install" for pnet, MigW ranlib gets confused over Cygwin's
path system.

I've worked around this one, by replacing the MingW ranlib by a
symlink to Cygwin's ranlib, which gets the paths right. Obviously
this is less than satifactory, but the problem is with MingW anyway
I suppose.
