Yeah, and we can kiss that pesky "UNIX emulation" claim of cygwin's goodbye, too. Somehow, I don't think that you'll find many library files in /usr/lib/cygwin on, say, HP/UX, Linux, Tru64, etc. This method solves a "problem" for -mno-cygwin at the expense of impacting many other packages. I agree that the print-search-dirs should work correctly and even suggested this in the libtools forum. I agree that --dll-search-prefix=cyg should not be activated when the user specifies -mno-cygwin. I've made the appropriate change to my version of gcc but I don't think that this warrants a new release. We will not be moving .a files to /usr/lib/cygwin, so please lets not even discuss this. cgf -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
