This is (and was) my interpretation as well. Since both Cygwin32 and Mingw32 configs have access to the Win32 API, I believe both should define _WIN32. I would be ok with adding "-Dunix" when the Cygwin32 config is being used if that would help people. -- Geoffrey Noer noer@cygnus.com - For help on using this list (especially unsubscribing), send a message to "gnu-win32-request@cygnus.com" with one line of text: "help".
