linkercygwindependency-walkermissing-symbols

Dependency walker on cygwin app gives conflicting information?

I am using the dependency walker to figure out why my link of a cygwin ported application is not correct.

It states that cgywin1.dll is missing the following symbols:

AddAtomA
FindAtomA
GetAtomNameA
GetModuleHandleA

Looking around, I see that these are supposed to come from -lkernel32 on the link line, which I have added at the end, however, dependency walker still shows these symbols as missing, yet it also lists kernel32.dll below and shows these symbols as being defined in there.

Solution

  • Try without -lkernel32. There should be no need to provide that explicitly because it's automatically linked in. Providing it on the link line might be messing up the link order.
