Then I assume you didn't have the same error? But you're right, I should have included the error message. As for the notice at the end of this message. As you can see, this is a C program, and I am having trouble with 'compiling' the source, not running it. Thus, the new dll will not help. I've also 'compiled' this same source code on solaris with gcc 2.7.2.2, and had no problems. Thus, it is a problem with b19 using an older version of gcc, perhaps. Since I don't know what changed between 2.7 and 2.7.2.2, I can't be sure. Maybe you didn't see the same problem because you have a newer version of gcc. When can we expect a newer compiler in cygwin32? > > I can't compile this code with b19.
