The simple answer is "No. It isn't possible." Assuming that you could do this, however, your program would immediately become GPLed. You would definitely have to distribute source code even under the "new" cygwin licensing scheme. I'm not sure what benefit you would hope to gain from a static link, actually. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list? Send a message to cygwin-unsubscribe@sourceware.cygnus.com
