Summary0015862: Compiles to obj intead of to o object files
DescriptionWhen compiling a library by mingw C++ (all recent versions), it produces object files with the obj file extension instead of the expected o extension. The problem is that the linker (ld) cannot link the resulting library because it contains obj files, while it expects o files.

mingw C++ compiles to .obj files by default; and should since they're COFF files not ELF.
It'd be like saying you expect it to produce .a and .so files; this is probably a user error....

What error are you actually getting?
