Yeah, agreed. In actuality, I'm working on a cross platform library and right now I'm just working on the Win32 support. The vast majority of my work is done on Mac OS X. In fact, the app that I'm debugging is built on Mac OS X via a MinGW cross compiler. I really am trying to avoid Win32 as much as possible. That said, Cygwin and MinGW make this process extremely easy compared to how bad it could be :) -tim -- 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/
