[ODE] operator new undefined link cygwin gcc

[Martin Magnusson]

I'm having trouble compiling under Cygwin as well. Then again, it could 
be a Cygwin problem too, since I'm new to Cygwin as well. Anyway, as far 
as I can understand I've set the user-settings file correctly, and after 
that a simple 'make' should be enough, right? Using g++ didn't seem to 
help. My results are posted below. The problem seems to be with 
lib/libode.a. I don't have a directory called 'lib', and there's no 
'libode.a' anywhere on my HDD. Help, comments or flames are appreciated :)

== Contents of ./config/user-settings: ===============================

# ODE user settings: the following variables must be set by the user

# (1) the platform to use. this name should have a corresponding
#     makefile.PLATFORM file. currently supported platforms are:
#       msvc        microsoft visual C/C++
#       mingw        minimalist GNU for windows
#       cygwin        cygnus GNU for windows
#       unix-gcc    GNU gcc on windows
#       unix-generic    generic unix compiler. you may need to edit the CC
#            variable in makefile.unix-generic
#    osx        Mac OS-X, with the gnu compiler.

PLATFORM=cygwin

# (2) the floating point precision to use (either "SINGLE" or "DOUBLE")

#PRECISION=SINGLE
PRECISION=DOUBLE

# (3) the library type to build (either "debug" if you are doing 
development,
#     or "release" for the optimized library)

#BUILD=debug
BUILD=release
