Cygwin runs exclusively on Windows machines... FPC has a Windows port. Whilst I can see the point of a port to Cygwin, I seriously can't understand why you can't use the Windows compiler to bootstrap the compiler. Cygwin is just a bunch of DLLs and support binaries at the end of the day, and creating a minimal bootstrap implementation using the Windows compiler, whilst not trivial, is the simplest way of doing it. Am I missing some reason for not using the Win32 compiler? By the way, how would one compile Pascal code without a Pascal compiler? No magic script file will avoid the need for fpc. _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
