This is no longer true with the experimental version of gcc-2 and gcc 3.2 that are available via setup.exe at http://cygwin.com/ . Both versions should be close to the same versions as supplied by mingw and the -mno-cygwin switch should provide the functional equivalent of a mingw compiler. Both versions should deal well with C++ out-of-the-box. Unfortunately, gcc 3.2 relies on some header file changes in cygwin and I am resolutely trying to get a new release of the cygwin DLL out so that I can then switch both versions of gcc out of experimental status. The problems I'm having with cygwin are of the BSOD variety, so I don't know when the new release will be. Sorry if this is off-topic for the mingw list. I'm just responding to set the record straight. 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/
