I didn't know that. And don't know how to proceed. I have gcc installed on cygwin; does it need to be replaced with a MinGW distro? Any pointers to a discussion of this? I like cygwin; didn't like shipping cygwin*.dll's. After writing this blog entry, I also tripped across some code.google projects that were also recommending Msys. http://1n1r2.wordpress.com/2009/12/10/minimal-open-source-build-for-windows/ Thanks, Evan ... I'll resume my research. _______________________________________________ help-bison@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/help-bison
