can you please have a look into the FAQ in the Cygwin sources, file faq-programming.xml? The question "How do I compile a Win32 executable that doesn't use Cygwin?" needs a revamp for Cygwin 1.7 but I don't know the correct answer to this question. At one point we will get a mingw cross compiler, right? wrong? Can you suggest a new answer for this FA question? There's also the weird Q "How can I build a relocatable dll?" Is that something we should keep in at all? If so, I assume that the described way to do that is not exactly state of the art... Thanks, Corinna -- Corinna Vinschen Please, send mails regarding Cygwin to Cygwin Project Co-Leader cygwin AT cygwin DOT com Red Hat
