No. These are *MinGW* compilers. They are supposed to create pure-windows executables. That is their sole purpose. There is no 64-bit version of Cygwin and, without a lot of head-standing, you'd need that to create a 64-bit application that understood Cygwin paths. cgf -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
