Hi Igor, this was something I did try out as well. However, the dll produced with "-no-cygwin" was just as "bad" as before. Then I recalled faintly reading some discussion a while back, that "mingw-gcc != gcc -no-cygwin" (don't remember details, though).
For better or worse, I'm in business now! thx, Hans >FYI, there was no need for you to go to all this trouble.
