Well at least I'll contribute _something_ useful. I guess I'd better be alone when I do this... Seriously though, what I think I hear you saying is that when -mno-cygwin is fully deprecated I'll need to build a cross compiler for native Windows executables, much like I've already done by building a cross compiler for embedded ARM7 variants under Cygwin. In other words, if it's possible to build a native windows exe under Linux, it will be possible under Cygwin as well ;-) Cheers, Ralph -- 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/
