Sorry that I haven't been paying attention. It seems like very bad advice to suggest that someone cross-build a cygwin application from linux. It doesn't make a lot of sense. >You mention packages that come with a cygwin installation to compile a >program to be used on cygwin. Mind giving me a rough idea on how to do >that? If you want to build on/for cygwin then you need to download things like gcc, make, binutils and probably other things that I haven't thought of.
