You said that you tried linking libcygwin.a to libutil.a but that is not necessarily going to work. >The link still fails. "the link still fails" provides almost zero useful information. You certainly didn't get the same "cannot find -lutil" error message when you tried this. Since Corinna went to some effort to add libutil functionality to the cygwin DLL a while ago and since I can't see any functions in libutil.so which are missing from cygwin1.dll, I don't see why this didn't work. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
