I don't understand your response. The person was reporting a problem with, essentially, a mingw appliation. Larry suggested that the question should go to the mingw-users mailing list. Why is this incorrect advice? I would have thought that it was possible that this kind of issue would be well-known to the users of that list. Certainly -mno-cygwin is an option to the Cygwin version of gcc but the resulting code should be nearly identical to a "native" mingw compiler. That puts this question into the realm of a mingw mailing list, IMO. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
