From: james_osburn@e-stamp.com (James Osburn) Subject: cygwin.dll 17 Jan 1997 00:11:13 -0800 Approved: cygnus.gnu-win32@cygnus.com Distribution: cygnus Message-ID: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Original-To: "'gnu-win32@cygnus.com'" X-Mailer: Microsoft Exchange Server Internet Mail Connector Version 4.0.993.5 Original-Sender: owner-gnu-win32@cygnus.com My two bits on the cygwin.dll and cygnus in general. First the cygwin.dll is to large It should not contain the unix to win32 interface. Second, there should be a facility to compile statically and to separate the C runtime and C++ runtimes into seperate dlls and statically linkable libs. The task of porting all the gnu unix to win32 via the gcc should be dropped. It poisons an otherwise very good idea: gcc for win32.
