To run my program the other person has >to have this dll??? Yep, he has to have this DLL in the same directory the executable is in. It contains the UNIX/POSIX-Emulation-Layer that's been developed to make porting of UNIX Applications to NT as easy as possible. If you don't need that layer and want to compile "real" Win32-executables you can use Jan-Jaap van der Heijden's gcc 2.8.1 or Mumit Khan's egcs 1.0.2 for mingw32. They are available from http://agnes.dida.physik.uni-essen.de/~janjaap/mingw32/ and http://www.xraylith.wisc.edu/~khan/software/gnu-win32/egcs-mingw32.html respectively. bye Michael - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
