Hi,

I just installed Cygwin on my system, and ported my apps to Win32 (or trying
to). This is a Windows XP system, and after using g++ it gave me the error
message that I needed the cygwin1.dll, I copied it to the working folder of
the exe file and it ran.

Is there a way to automatically set this ?

Also, how do I distribute my windows executables ? Do I need to provide the
cygwin1.dll in the same location ? Is this the only file or anyother file is
required ? Sorry if it has been answered, you could point me to the right
direction.

P.S.- Can the cygwin1.dll be linked statically into the EXE file ?

Thanks.
