Borland uses OMF and Cygwin uses PE-COFF, so unless you can convert OMF to COFF, there's not a chance (didn't borland supply a tool for this?). Even if you could convert the format, the references to runtime within these objects will be wrong and it just won't work correctly. However, if the Borland object files were compiled statically, it may work. Regards, Mumit -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
