wxruby users - Nov 2003 - MinGW build (static linking) problem

Hi!

I am trying to build wxruby with statically linked wxWindows library, but
so far - no luck - bunch of unresolved references during the linking phase.

I''ve seen on the list that Curt was being able to build it, so any hint
would be helpful.

gcc 3.2.3 (MinGW 3.1.0) & MSYS 1.0.10rc2.

Sincerely,
Gour

If you want to use the static library in MinGW, you''re going to have to
edit extconf.rb (by default it defines WXUSINGDLL and other stuff). Can 
you say what your linker errors are?

Well, since I use MSYS & configure mechanism, everything should be handled
by wx-config script.

On my system it gives:

$ wx-config --cxxflags
-I/mingw/lib/wx/include/mswd-2.4 -I/mingw/include -D__WXDEBUG__ -D__WXMSW__
-mthreads -fno-pcc-struct-return

unknown@GAURA-GOUR ~/wxruby/src
$ wx-config --libs
-L/mingw/lib  -Wl,--subsystem,windows -mwindows -mthreads  
/mingw/lib/libwxmsw242d.a -lrpcrt4 -loleaut32 -lole32 -luuid -lwinspool -lwinmm
-lshell32 -lcomctl32 -lctl3d32 -ladvapi32 -lwsock32i

Here is the last snippet of linking errors:

Any idea?
