This has been posted before, possibly you could search the archives for this. Also, since you seem to think it simple, perhaps you could help with the combining effort. You could start by testing your theories in your own environment and posting the results. BTW, mingw32 started out as a set of header replacements/suppliments for the cdk and required the cdk toolset to build programs. The mingw32 compiler set came about for different reasons using the mingw32 headers. Check out Colin Peters' web pages for the whole story. ---Steve Morris wrote: > > > I would like to regularly switch between cygwin and native development with > gcc tools.
