That's nice Vicent. Please tell us what libraries or kinds of libraries are you talking about? And... are you invoking the MSYS/Win-Builds configure build chain from within a Cygwin environment or not? Are you using provided "configure" shell scripts with the libraries? What I'm am trying for find out how to do, is complile a package which was originally developed on Linux to a Microsoft Windows platform, using the standard toolchain provided with the Win-Builds' environment. Please let us know.
