Re: running examples/extgcd.c on cygwin

[Iftikhar Burhanuddin <burhanud@usc.edu>]

I still haven't been able to make the extgcd executables run as desired on
cygwin.

One mistake I rectified was to specify the directory where the Pari bin,
include, lib and share directories are to be created, by running

./Configure --prefix=/exotic/dir/name

during installation (It is *clearly* specified in the INSTALL file and I
overlooked it the first time around.)

But these

"Info: resolving _avma by linking to __imp__avma (auto-import)"

messages seem to persist and I believe they are an indication of the
problem that I'm facing. After searching on the Web, I appended

--enable-runtime-pseudo-reloc

to the LDFLAGS line of the Makefile but that doesn't get rid of the
message. The executables are built but

./extgcd-sta.exe and ./extgcd-dyn.exe

don't prompt me for x and y like they do on my Mac. This applies to both
the pari-2.3.2 and pari-2.4.1.alpha versions.

Also building libextgcd.dll, produces the following:

usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/../../../../i686-pc-cygwin/bin/ld: cannot
find
 -lpari.dll
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make: *** [libextgcd.dll] Error 1

This doesn't bother me. All I want to do is work with Pari on cygwin and
be build and run *.exe's.

Any feedback?

Ifti
