You seem to be confused between the concept of cygwin1.dll and the cygwin distribution. They are two different things. The original poster wanted to build an application that didn't rely on the Cygwin DLL. He wasn't talking about bash, command line utils, etc. I was trying to correct the impression that you seemed to be giving that it was possible to pick and choose cygwin pieces while linking a program. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
