I will bet you that when you run cygcheck over the avrdude.exe executable you'll see that's it's not linked to the Cygwin DLL (cygwin1.dll). So that's great for you, as long as you don't redistribute it. Because then you can run into DLL hell.
But if you build this in MinGW, then there's no Cygwin DLL involved, and it makes it easier to redistribute the executable (i.e. share your program with others). But congratulations on getting it built! :-) Eric Weddington > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Jason Hecker > Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2011 5:14 AM > To: Joerg Wunsch > Cc: [email protected] > Subject: Re: [avrdude-dev] Building in AVRDUDEWindows > > > This looks like the .deps/ file(s) contain(s) target(s) like > > > > C:\\foo\bar.o: > > C:\\foo\mumble.o: > > You are right. > > Well, I ran Cygwin as Administrator, did: > > autoreconf --force --install > ./configure > > then the special sauce: > > mingw32-make > > and it built!
