Hi,

Your solution is a partial solution, because you "migration" require 
also the C++ library to be linked.

First, of course it's possible ;)

Second, under windoze you compiler it's smart (or dumb enought) to link 
automaticly with the c++ library.

Under Linux, gcc it's a pure c compiler, it never link agains c++ 
library, so "the misterious" messages refer to the missing c++ library 
because you code do references for operator new and delete ;)

To solve this is easy, link with the c++ library: -lstdc++

gcc a.c mylib.a -lstdc++

Third, welcom in the Linux world :)

Regards, and don't forget, under Linux EVERYTHING is possible :D
