[Boost-users] Boost Python not linking uder Cygwin

Apologies for resending this email ... but for some reason my last email ended up as a reply for a completely disconnected subject.... TWICE.
 
I am able to build my Python Extension Module under MSVC 7.1, MSVC 8.0 and GCC (LINUX). 
However I cannot seem to build it under Cygwin gcc. 

The output of uname is CYGWIN_NT-5.1 

The output of gcc -v is : 
Reading specs from /usr/lib/gcc/i686-pc-cygwin/3.4.4/specs

gured) 
Thread model: posix 
gcc version 3.4.4 (cygming special) (gdc 0.12, using dmd 0.125) 
 
My compile command line is : 

g++ -o /cygdrive/c/Build/cygwin/gcc/3.4.4/Debug/Intermediate/PythonPapa/PythonPapa.dll -shared /cygdrive/c/Build/cygwin/gcc/3.4.4/Debug/Intermediate/PythonPapa/main.os /cygdrive/c/Build/cygwin/gcc/3.

eWay 

Then there are ALOT of errors .. here are the last few lines :

Also I expected to see an import library build for the boost_python.dll, but i can't see that it is .. this is the contents of my /usr/local/lib 

libboost_python-gcc-1_33_1.a libboost_python-gcc-d-1_33_1.dll libboost_python-gcc-mt-1_33_1.dll libboost_python-gcc-mt-d.a libcppunit.a

I cannot see any .dll.lib or .dll.a 
I would appricate any comments on this problems. 

Thanx
