As of now, Cygwin provides two versions: 'previous' (2.1.1-2) and 'current' (2.2.0-1): mingw64-i686-expat-2.1.1-2 mingw64-i686-expat-2.2.0-1 mingw64-x86_64-expat-2.1.1-2 mingw64-x86_64-expat-2.2.0-1 Previous versions have both static (libexpat.a) and shared versions (libexpat.dll.a). Current versions do not have static versions; only shared. Is it an oversight or are there some reasons for the lack of it? Thanks for your help. David Lee.
