Hi!
This is a (non-direct :-) consequence of what was commented in a previous
message in this list: when you link twice to the same library, you sure have
link problems, due to the messing of internal ld tables.
You don't link twice to the same library, but to two different libraries that
have definitions of the same function.
I was able to link and run normally a program that used GetKeyState(). I used
only libuser32.a. Here are my command lines:
gcc -c KeyState.c
gcc KeyState.o -o KeyState.exe -luser32
Best regards,
