Unless you fell up to generating the mingw packages you need. I'm unsure (and didn't bother to go see if I could find this in the gcc release notes) that -mno-cygwin has made it into the mainline. That means the first step to getting this to work is to port the Cygwin-specific support for it to your Cygwin 4.1.1 version. You may also want to review the email archives for this list, the Mingw list, and the gcc list to get a better handle on the issues with the 4.x series on Windows platforms, in case any of them are of concern to you. -- Larry Hall http://www.rfk.com RFK Partners, Inc.
