Hi Robert, hi all,
Sorry to push this topic up, but I think this may be important for the 2.8.0. I
re-write in a shorter manner what was important in my post:
1. How Cygwin/MinGW/nmake packages are named (= the name of the compiler)?
2. Do Cygwin and MinGW have the same compiler and generate same binaries?
I'm fairly certain they generate different binaries. Cygwin executables
are dependent on the cygwin runtime, while Mingw executables use the
standard MSVC runtime. There does seem to be a mingw-compatibility
option to cygwin (-mno-cygwin), which seems to remove the dependency of
executables on the cygwin compatibility layer (cygwin1.dll). I think the
library formats are also incompatible, although I seem to recall there
are some tools to do conversions and such.
