By forcing the elimination of cygwin1.dll using -mno-cygwin, you can then do this: gcc -ofoo.exe foo.c -mno-cygwin -lcygwin The default paths already scan the usr/lib directory. It is the usr/lib directory that has the static version of cygwin (libcygwin.a). Peace, Paul G. Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
