One idea was to put all those mini libraries that are not supposed to be a standalone library (like gettext) and also single Posix functions into one single library. Best solution would be to put them directly into the libc (i.e. emx) because then we wouldn't have to care about them any more. The 2nd best solution would be to put them all into one new library (e.g. ux2.dll) so that you only need LIBS="-lux2" if you want to compile anything. bye, Andreas -- One OS to rule them all, One OS to find them, One OS to bring them all and in the darkness bind them In the Land of Mordor where the Shadows lie.
