Problem building C program with MinGW

[ColdHorizon]

Hi,

I need some advice regarding a C program I am trying to build with MinGW on a Windows XP system. The program is an f2c'd version of a Fortran program which factorises a complex polynomial (see http://www.netlib.org/toms/419 for details). I am attempting to build the program as follows:

C:\MinGW>gcc -c algorithm419.c
C:\MinGW>gcc algorithm419.o libf2c.lib

I then get the following messages on screen:

Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? I realise this is not strictly a LAPACK/CLAPACK question, however I get the same error message when trying to build programs that call the CLAPACK library. Therefore I think my question has some relevance!

Thanks,
Brendan.

HI,
You should try to build the libf2c lib from CLAPACK using CMAKE build for MinGW.
See steps here: http://icl.cs.utk.edu/lapack-for-window ... html#build (of course you need to pick MinGW instead of VS Solution)
I am not familiar with those kind of undefined reference.

Those errors are because the f2c lib was built with visual studio. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894573 for details. You can try making gcc link with the bufferoverflow*.lib to see if that fixes things, but I doubt it. The proper thing to do is to compile everything, including f2c, with the MinGW toolchain, as Julie suggested.
