Hi,
So what we'd need now is a mechanism to override
the automatic choice of "platform". I wouldn't be too surprised if
someone decided to create "platforms" for the other two (?) choices of
windows implementation - cygwin native and cygwin w/o cygwin.dll.
??? native windoze and cygwin, or do I miss something?
The cygwin.dll acts as an emulation layer for all those POSIX functions
that
Windows doesn't have. If a program doesn't call any of the functions
provided
by cygwin.dll, then, this library is not needed and, I guess, it's not
even loaded.
GCC, when used on Cygwin, produces always a native executable file for
Windows, and
the extension is .exe.
