If this is a commercial product, the GPL license will not allow you to use Cygwin unless you release your source code. You can purchase a license from Redhat for cygwin which would allow you to sell your product. I believe there's a FAQ on this on the site. So before you spend a lot of effort getting your code to build under cygwin, you should resolve the licensing issues. -Bill -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
