Hey.
Ive been trying to implement Box2D (2D physics library) into my project. I have compiled the library from source for both windows and Linux. But i am having trouble linking the library into windows. (Note: I compile to windows using Mingw32 in Linux).
I posted this all into the Box2D forums, but i dont think i will be getting a reply there anytime soon. Here is the post i made in those forums.

Hey all.
I develop on Linux, and compile windows binaries from here using mingw32. I use GCC for all my compiling.
I compiled Box2D for both linux and windows (.a and .so) put them in the correct folders, put the "-lbox2d" tag into my makefiles, and it worked fine. Until, i put this line of code in. From my understanding, this is the only line of code in my project that calls a function that *should be* in the Box2d library.
pworld = new b2World(worldAABB, gravity, true);
at which point, it started coughing up compiler errors, (in the link stage). Note, that the linux version compiled fine, when i tried to compile for windows i got this
/tmp/ccJd63Hj.o:gmap.cpp:(.text+0x25b): undefined reference to `b2World::b2World(b2AABB const&, b2Vec2 const&, bool)'
So, im totally confused. Usually an error like this can be solved with changing the linking order in my makefiles, but not this time. Ill put my makefiles now.
Windows
all:
i586-mingw32msvc-g++ -o bin/win/BlackAurora.exe Source/*.cpp -lmingw32 -lSDLmain -lSDL -lSDL_image -mwindows -lopengl32 -lbox2d
Linux
all:
g++ -o bin/linux/BlackAurora Source/*.cpp -lbox2d -lSDL -lGL -lSDL_image
Im totally stumped here. Any help?

Strange. Quote tags wont work....
