Huh? Do you really with "GlibC" mean what's usually spelled as just "glibc", i.e. the GNU C library, used on Linux? Anyway, zlib and libpng are *very* portable code, and they certainly *don't* require any glibc-specific functionality from the C library. > I therefore installed GlibC.

I think the glibc maintainer explicitly refuses to accept any patches for portability to other OSes. > This leads me to the question.

MinGW uses the Microsoft C library. --tml ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
