Hi guyz,

I'm using the Gygwin (MIPS variant) C++ compiler. I can the following
program to compile but I just can't get it to link. Every time I try I get
the following error.

gcc -Xlinker -Ttext -Xlinker 80140000 main.o  object.o -o main.exe
\psx3\mips-unknown-ecoff\lib/libsngcc.a(new_hand.o): In function
`__default_new_handler':
libgcc2.c(.text+0x3c): undefined reference to `_exit'
libgcc2.c(.text+0x3c): relocation truncated to fit: JMPADDR _exit

Main.cpp looks as follows:

     #include <libps.h>
     #include "object.h"

     int main (void)
         {
         Object* ptrObject = new Object("blip");
         ResetGraph(0);
         }

The Object class is defined as follows:

     class Object
          {
          protected:
               char* message;

          public:
               Object() {};
               Object(char* string);
          };

My coding is very rusty so I may be missing something but I'm sure this
should work. Its also 3 in the morning and my brain shut down
about...actually come to think of it I don't remember it starting up :)

Hugz, Peter
