Actually, the answer's _still_ no. If you use -mno-cygwin, you won't have the cygwin library functions available, and most bog-standard unix sources won't compile without some porting effort. (MinGW provides _some_ of the POSIX syscalls, but it's a massively less-complete implementation than Cygwin. MSYS provides more, ). cheers, DaveK -- Can't think of a witty .sigline today.... -- 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/
