Building neko mingw problems

Hello,

I'm having problems linking to the gc lib. I've copied
libgc.a to bin
directory but no idea what to try next - how to debug this.

I'd appreciate a pointer!

Thanks
Michael

Since the dynamic function of libgc is used, you actually
need the 
libgc.so to be available on your system.

Thanks for your reply. When I compile gc I get .a files. 
 
-rw-r--r--    1 ctse     Administ      660 Dec 28 15:22
libgc.la
-rw-r--r--    1 ctse     Administ 11848800 Dec 28 15:22
libgc.a

Does this mean I need to build the gc as a dll and also
Neko?
