Re: undefined reference to _GC_malloc

Why do both projects need gc.lib? After all, the static library will not be
linked, only ar'ed, when the project is compiled.

Anyway, I am having trouble reproducing the problem.  It is one I have often
and in different projects, yet sometimes I can compile fine, other times
not, yet I cannot see what the change is in the code / project options.

Perhaps it is a bug in lcc, as I am using the lcc extensions:
eg generic functions, and the lpVtbl shortcut.

Cheers anyway.
