You can't load the cygwin DLL statically, no. The best you can do is use mingw if you don't want to rely on the cygwin DLL. Mingw builds rely on DLLs that should already be on most systems. It is not theoretically impossible to create a "static" version of cygwin. DJ Delorie has done this, with some hacking at the cygwin source code, but there is no way to do this in the current sources and I would very much not advocate even attempting it. cgf -- Want to unsubscribe from this list?
