On the FAQ section 6.10 "How do I compile a Win32 executable that doesn't use Cygwin?" reads:
"(Please note: This section has not yet been updated for the latest net release.) "The -mno-cygwin flag to gcc makes gcc link against standard Microsoft DLLs instead of Cygwin. This is desirable for native Windows programs that don't need a UNIX emulation layer. "This is not to be confused with 'MinGW' (Minimalist GNU for Windows), which is a completely separate effort. That project's home page is http://www.mingw.org/index.shtml. " Is this indeed outdated information? The flag seems to work for some very basic C applications, but I am having trouble with a few more complex pieces of software. -- 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
