C Functions

Hi everyone. I have a problem and I don't have a clue of how to solve
it... some time ago I had programmed a couple of C functions for
postgresql on my freebsd system, and compiled them into a .so file. It
worked great.

Now I have to make a demo, and I've been given a WinXP notebook. I
decided to go for postgresql on cygwin, and it works just fine as a
service.
The thing is that now I want to recompile my C source code (gcc works
fine) and generate the library (gcc -shared), and I get a lot of
undefined references (_textin, _DirectFunctionCall1,
_MemoryContextAlloc, etc.).

Could anyone tell me what to do, cause I'm really lost here.
Thanks in advance.

Thanks Jason!
I have to tell you that I had managed to solve this before your reply,
but I think it would be good to explain what I did for any other person
who has the same problem.

My library is called pgakya, so anyone interested should relpace pgakya
for the name of the library he intends to build.

I replaced in my Makefile :
gcc -shared -o ..\bin\pgakya.so *.o
for:
dlltool --export-all --output-def pgakya.def *.o
dllwrap -o ..\bin\pgakya.dll --dllname pgakya.dll -def pgakya.def
*.o /tmp/postgresql7.4RC2/src/utils/dllinit.o /usr/lib/postgresql
-Ltmp/postgresql7.4RC2/src/backend -lpostgres

this two lines did the job, and everything works perfect now.

Thanks again Jason.

The following should work too:

gcc -shared -Wl,--export-all-symbols -o ../bin/pgakya.dll *.o -L/tmp/postgresql7.4RC2/src/backend -lpostgres
