Well the thing there is from what I've understood MingW is more of just the GNU
Compiler and such for Windows where is Cygwin appears to be more of a Unix
environment on windows that can handle windows and unix (within reason) type
functionality but.... that is just my understanding.
I'll keep digging.
Hi,
what kind of thing do you want to do? I know both mingw and cygwin. In
short: cygwin is a unix-emulation (kind of...) whereas mingw is a port
of gnu-tools to windows.
If you want do develop windows-apps, but use gnu-tools for it, use mingw.
If you want to have a unix-emulation but for some kind of reason cannot
use unix (linux, for instance), use cygwin.
This dll-stuff sounds as if you would have to dig deep into the dark
side of programming to solve it. Doesn´t sound like fun to me, I would
try mingw. But tell me, what you want to do, and I can tell you if you
can do it with mingw.
Regards,
Andreas
