When compiling a cygwin app, you should NEVER need to -L/usr/lib/mingw, unless you are asking for a crash. > > If I emulates lockf by dummy function simply just return 1, the binary > executable will not crash but it simply cannot lock file.

A better emulation would be setting errno to ENOSYS and returning -1, since 1 is not a valid return value according to POSIX: http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/009695399/functions/lockf.html - -- Life is short - so eat dessert first!
