The mingw32 was distributed with cygwin (al la gcc-mingw-g++). g++ obviously has an option for threadsafe exceptions, as I have used them in the past. So if this isn't the place to inquire about the build options used to make the gcc-mingw-* packages distributed with cygwin then where is?
And the reason for using windows-isms is obvious in that it wouldn't work with -mno-cygwin if it wasn't using windows-ism. THe libraries I am linking to are filled with them and thus rather than try to mix and match, it is best to disable the link to the cygwin library. --Karl -- 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/
