The libc.a and libm.a in /lib are actually links to libcygwin.a - the export library for cygwin1.dll. So what you need is a new libcygwin.a in your /lib dir and new cygwin1.dll. How did you build the newlib package ? As part of cygwin build process ? If this is the case then both libcygwin.a and cygwin1.dll should been generated in winsup/cygwin/ - the cygwin1.dll is however named new-cygwin1.dll. So at this point you have to copy libcygwin.a to /lib and restore the libc.a and libm.a links and also you have to copy new-cygwin1.dll in /bin/cygwin1.dll. Just note that to overwrite the dll you have to exit all cygwin apps including any services you might be runnig. -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
