Hi,

I'm using Cygwin and ActiveState perl to try to compile a sample
application using SWIG. I'm using the short tutorial from
http://www.swig.org/tutorial.html (the perl part of it), but with a
simplified version of their example (just a void hello()
{printf("Hello, world!\n");} and corresponding .i interface file,
%module hello \ extern void hello().

I first do swig -perl5 hello.i which works fine.
Then I do:
bash-2.05b$ gcc -c hello.c hello_wrap.c -I/cygdrive/c/perl/lib/core

Which results in (because of hello_wrap.c, created by swig):

I've got the latest cygwin, perl v5.6.1 built for
MSWin32-x86-multi-thread build 633 from activestate, and the latest
swigwin (swig for windows). I'm on WinXP.

Anyone have any idea what's going on? I've read lots of documentation
and searched google to no avail. Any help would be greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Alex Ehlke
