It will allow you to compile native Win32 software, last time I looked instructions for setting it up under b17 is not given at this time. But it is definitely doable after a little trial and error. Now if you want to compile Unix apps stick with the straight gnu-win32 setup.

I'm sure it would be nice to make simple programs that don't require cygwin.dll I even think I read somewhere about Cygnus working out how to do this. Though you would probably still end up with an exe much larger than one that uses cygwin.dll. - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help". - For help on using this list, send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
