Date: Wed, 24 Sep 2003 20:42:27 +0200 Lines: 11 Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-2" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Complaints-To: usenet@sea.gmane.org X-MSMail-Priority: Normal X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2800.1158 X-MimeOLE: Produced By Microsoft MimeOLE V6.00.2800.1165 A discussion about different compilers currently takes place on polish c/c++ newsgroup. One person mentioned that code compiled with MinGW gcc don't have to be published under GPL license, but Cygwin gcc automatically links cygwin library so the binary file can be distributed only under GPL. Is it possible to make gcc work in the mode like in MinGW, where cygwin library isn't present? Will it build a binary that can run on every MS Windows machine?
