Well if you don't have w32api installed then you won't be able to compile anything. Even for the most trivial of windows programs you'd need -luser32 and -lkernel32. That aside, I do agree that it's ugly and unnecessary. So I patched configure.ac to not add those when building for Cygwin. New -3 packages listed below (sans build logs in -src package.) BTW, the current curl package has these extraneous -lgdi32 -lwinmm flags as well, so it appears to have always been this way. http://dessent.net/cygwin/release/curl/curl-7.15.0-3.tar.bz2 http://dessent.net/cygwin/release/curl/curl-7.15.0-3-src.tar.bz2 http://dessent.net/cygwin/release/curl/curl-devel/curl-devel-7.15.0-3.tar.bz2 http://dessent.net/cygwin/release/curl/libcurl3/libcurl3-7.15.0-3.tar.bz2 Brian
