Hello,

I am trying to compile a C program from Cygwin and it gives ld: not found -user32 error .. I searched for library libuser32.so and was not able locate it..

When i create only object file using gcc -c option it gets created successfully .. When i use gcc -o option , executable is not getting created.

I am using gcc on AMD-Dual core(64 bit process) with Windows vista.

Any help is appreciated..

Thanks!

What is the output from "gcc -v"?

$ gcc -v

Any update over this ??

That means you must be getting a linker error. Please show the output from a failed attempt at compiling
