I don't know where you got that idea. It's perfectly fine to use w32api functions in combination with cygwin/posix ones -- how do you think mintty works? -- although you do need to be careful mixing stuff like posix select() and w32 WaitFor*(). > That dmake and now something in genscripts does not, means > that the Cygwin wall has some holes. > > gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I. -I../bfd -I./../bfd -I./../include -g -O2 > -DENABLE_PLUGINS -DLOCALEDIR="\"/usr/local/share/locale\"" -W -Wall > -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wshadow -Werror -g -O2 -MT > ldemul.o -MD -MP -MF .deps/ldemul.Tp > o -c -o ldemul.o ldemul.c ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Here's your problem: binutils and gcc don't support compiling "in the source tree". You need to create a separate, empty build directory *outside* the src directory, and run configure/make in there. Dunno about your dmake problems, someone else will have to address that. -- Chuck -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
