You can build native binaries, that don't depend on any posix- emulation dll, with either Cygwin or MSYS and MinGW. With MSYS and MinGW, you get native binaries by default; to produce a dll-dependent binary, you need to download and use a separate package. > Does MSYS have gcc?) Instead of trying to reinvent the FAQs, poorly, let me just cite them: http://mingw.org/mingwfaq.shtml http://mingw.org/MinGWiki http://cygwin.com/faq.html _______________________________________________ Make-w32 mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/make-w32
