The Eclipse IDE offers to use Cygwin or MinGW toolchains to build
applications.
Within the Cygwin applications, however, there is a possibility of using
the "MinGW-gcc" collection as a sort of cross-compile to produce . . .
what? Presumably, an executable that will run on a Windoze machine with
only native support libraries.
So, the first question is -- is the output executable from Cygwin-Mingw
compilation the same as one produced by using the MinGW-project
compilers with (if needed) MSYS.
Second, what has to be done to make such an executable? That is, will
an appropriate set of CCFLAG settings select the Cygwin-MinGW compiler?
Or, is some other "trick" needed so that "gcc" means using the MinGW
compiler?
