Hi there again,
I tried using MingW, it's the same thing, doesn't work, same error =
message.
As i found out, the stdio.h file used in cygwin and MingW are diferent =
then the one i use on VS(and possibly others), and the one on the latest =
Microsoft SDK distribution. In the include files on my VS directory, and =
the include files on Microsoft's SDK, i have no reference to the =
external symbol __impure_ptr. I don't know what to do, i'm going to try =
and compile GMP using the files from the Microsoft SDK and my VS =
directory, by overwriting the libs and includes on my cygwin.
Btw, i have no obstack.h, not on VS, not on cygwin, not on mingW and not =
on Microsoft's SDK.

I was writing an Eiffel interface to GMP and ran into a similar =
problem. My Eiffel compiler
translates Eiffel code to C code and then uses VS 6 to compile the C =
code. I solved the
problem by using MingW to generate the library file for GMP. I don't =
believe the file extension
of the lib file matters but that can be easily changed.

Hi there!
I'm having some problems using the gmp lib, i have WinXP, i use VS 6 =
and i compiled the sources on the latest cygwin with the =
--host=3Dwindows flag.
First of all the output file has a .a extension, i find that weird =
since i read some posts on this mailling list and everyone, even on =
windows, talks allways about .libs, maybe i did something wrong. None =
the less, when i linked the .a file to the VS project i didn't got a =
file corruption error, so i assume it must be the right format.
My problem is this...
Linking...
libgmp.a(memory.o) : error LNK2001: unresolved external symbol =
__impure_ptr
Debug/Secure Remote Chat.exe : fatal error LNK1120: 1 unresolved =
externals
Error executing link.exe.
I tryed including all the headers that we're mencioned in the GMP =
manual, and still didn't work, i tryed making a search on every header =
file for that external symbol, and i found none. I tryed google to see =
if i could find something on it, but the only decent info would allways =
come from this mailling list, and i still haven't found an answer for my =
particular problem.
So if anyone could help me out i'de be much apreciated.
