Comment (by stefan):

 Thank you for not giving it up.

 The "already defined" messages seem to arises because the GAMS I/O
 libraries (here smag.lib) are compiled using the Compaq Fortran Compiler
 while you are using the Intel Fortran Compiler. Such problems come up when
 one provides precompiled libraries instead of source code :-(.

 The "unresolved external symbol _errno" arises because the LIBC.lib is
 taken out of the default libraries, but it is defined there. I found in
 the COIN-OR build tools the lines which add the corresponding flags to the
 linker and that its purpose is to fix something, here they seem to cause
 problems.

 Unfortunately, I do not have an Intel Fortran Compiler for Windows, so I
 cannot test any changes and we have to proceed on a try-and-error basis. I
 will also ask around if someone has experience with this.

 As a first thing, you could go directly to
 /cygdrive/c/temp3/btb3/GAMSlinks/src/Ipopt and issue the linking command
 there (without using the Makefile).
 Please try something like the following there:
 {{{
 cl -O2 -DNDEBUG -nologo -EHsc -GR -o GamsIpopt.exe GamsIpopt.obj
 SmagNLP.obj SmagJournal.obj
 c:/temp3/btb3/Ipopt/src/Interfaces/.libs/libipopt.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/clicelib.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/smag.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/gclib.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/g2d.lib
 }}}
 But probably some other unresolved symbols will popup now, because the
 libipopt.lib contains fortran code that probably need libraries from the
 Intel Fortran Compiler.

 Another command line could be:
 {{{
 cl -O2 -DNDEBUG -nologo -EHsc -GR -o GamsIpopt.exe GamsIpopt.obj
 SmagNLP.obj SmagJournal.obj
 c:/temp3/btb3/Ipopt/src/Interfaces/.libs/libipopt.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/clicelib.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/smag.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/gclib.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/g2d.lib libifcorert.lib
 ifconsol.lib
 }}}
 (or maybe you need to specify exactly where to find the libifcorert.lib
 and ifconsol.lib (somewhere where the Intel Fortran Compiler is
 installed))

 A third one that comes to my mind is the following:
 {{{
 cl -O2 -DNDEBUG -nologo -EHsc -GR -o GamsIpopt.exe GamsIpopt.obj
 SmagNLP.obj SmagJournal.obj
 c:/temp3/btb3/Ipopt/src/Interfaces/.libs/libipopt.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/clicelib.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/smag.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/gclib.lib
 c:/temp3/gamslinks-0.2.0/ThirdParty/GAMSIO/VIS/g2d.lib -link
 libifcorert.lib /FORCE:MULTIPLE
 }}}

 I hope we can get closer with one of them.

 Best,
 Stefan
