Thanks that makes sense now. {$LINKLIB C} did help some of the errors but I'm still getting others. I'm aware of 'ldd' to show dependancies for dynamic libraries but how can I do this for static libraries on Linux? I'm getting defined references for math functions like pow, cos etc.. and some pthread ones also. There's probably more but how can I know?
