A cross-compiler will not (should not) produce binaries that depend on cygwin dll. If it does, it's a bug. > I assume that mingw does use posix file pathnames. It doesn't. W32 apps do not understand names that start with a single slash. Cygwin mingw-w64 cross-compiler is not a pure W32 app, however, and does understand them. > > I need to to install a MS Windows perl interpreter. Why?

That's Cygwin perl. AFAIU you will have to cross-compile everything. You should probably create a /mingw dir and configure everything with --prefix=/mingw However, there's an issue of your cross-compiler finding the right stuff. I don't know where it looks for headers and libs. Try running `echo | i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -E -V -' to see where it gets headers from, and `i686-w64-mingw32-gcc -print-search-dirs' to see where it gets libraries from. A common root of both dirs would be your mingw directory. You'll get better answer from Cygwin folks. - -- O< ascii ribbon - stop html email! - www.asciiribbon.org -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (MingW32) iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJSLJxHAAoJEOs4Jb6SI2CwkPkIALuTzGJkdJVYSiUxMnS/yJBL LNxukYiXA0cmDa4+Q/Gi99sSZuWZdkdcFdLpnIHN/KaXQk4zwzBvRnMtKN10suPY 6hT3N1BujFDp9R/yGGcmjFWtf+BASvwwDhcjbrMrGLkA7lYP9VjRAyCtmV7fIuY1 nnXjxnUtxA0j1iTA3QuehEQJNgWI5ey2Vwbyg8xEnV4CAFUG35gm81eBS62sYq2V 9wAFDJsKRtpU64Dnvfp+TIFALe2Lu3mdbPjYhjVXcQQTZcU7E30M+NKK7E1ndVmN sE6gf327Jb0QSh/YU3TQoZsVpGJQsTP9CniYMsg+hMkLMSB0FJceMpyEXfwVKaQ= =ufSP -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
